Mimi worked and retired from the city of Haverhill. After she retired, she still chose to work as a substitute teacher for Johnston County schools. Her students adored her. At school or out of school students would make sure to go get their hug from her. Mimi impacted everyone who met her and had an infectious smile and the kindest heart. Whether she was volunteering in the community or baking goodies to share, her passion was to do for others and make them happy. For 35 years, she hosted her annual Christmas open house to share the love to all of her family and friends.
