Mildred was known for her endless care and generosity. She dedicated herself as a caregiver for many members of her family. Her love for church and praising the Lord was evident throughout her life, having accepted Christ at an early age and remaining faithful until her health declined.

She is also survived by Ten great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, several nieces and nephews, and a host of cousins, friends, and extended family.
