Mildred kept the home together for their three children while her husband served his country in the military. Not only was she a wonderful cook, she also crocheted, knitted and sewed beautifully. She was an outstanding artist, and her artwork graces the homes of family and loved ones. Her family was very important to her, as anyone that knew her could attest. She was very special and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
Survivors include her husband, William McDearman; a son, William Richard McDearman and wife Helen; two daughters, Carolyn Tigart and husband Mike and Marilyn Kelley and husband Don; her grandchildren, Brian, Carrie, Jason, Damon, Chris, Mandy and Emily; and her great-grandchildren, Oliver, Calvin, Jaycee, Tucker, Kirsten, Jacob and Madeline.
