Mimi attended school in Austin and attended University Junior High School, Austin High School, and the University of Texas, Austin. While attending Austin High School, Mimi participated in the “Red Jackets” a school sponsored team spirit organization. Mimi married Travis Roland Raven while attending the University of Texas.

Mimi volunteered for over 40 years at St. Davids Hospital as a “Robin.” She never tired of making the rounds with small candies and magazines for the patients to enjoy. She and her group of volunteers received a One Million Hour award from St. David's for their tireless efforts tending to the sick and infirm.

As a Home Maker, Mimi was dedicated and made sure her family received all the nourishment, love, and support anyone could ever hope for. She enjoyed building scrapbooks and was a prolific photographer.

Mimi was a lifelong member of Gethsemane Lutheran Church where she was baptized, confirmed, and married. A living memorial has been established for the continued good works of Gethsemane Lutheran Church and those that celebrate the life of Mimi Raven with us are encouraged to send their blessings.
