She loved talking to her friends and family, you especially know this if you ever tried to call her on the phone. Anyone who knew Mildred knew how important her relationships with people were. She had a giving spirit. She would give and help anyone without boasting, from doughnuts for the trash men to postage for the Blue Star Mothers. She just did not want to call attention to herself. Mildred was very involved in her community through OHCE.

She treasured her OHCE family all along the way. She also served as treasurer for the Fabulous 50’s and The Class of 1955 reunions.
