She grew up riding in a horse and wagon, then a Model T, saw some of the first airplanes, the first lunar landing, the first televisions and the advancement of technology as we know it today. She was an avid reader, loved to quilt and crochet, and she was a talented seamstress. She loved fishing, gardening and baking and was fearless in the face of snakes, ornery roosters and hogs. She held various jobs throughout her life but enjoyed her thirteen years at Walmart the most. She was a devoted wife and mother to her five children. Above all, she loved Jesus and followed him all of her days. Mildred attended the Pentecostal Church of God in Lexington, Oklahoma where she was the pianist until 2019 when she then moved to Texas to be near her children, Johnny and Deanna and her granddaughter, Debi.
