Mildred never met a stranger, and everyone she met she extended her heart and with open arms. Mildred loved to cook and sew in her spare time throughout her life.
After moving to Bryant, Arkansas she became the neighbor "granny" as much as her health allowed her to. Although she hardly got to visit her church family, she loved worshipping God.
