peacefully in her sleep on November 4. She was born in

Marshalltown, Iowa, the third of four children born to Emory

who later became a Nurse Practitioner.

She met her husband, Daniel E. Lynch, at Francis E. Warren

Air Force Hospital in Cheyenne, Wyoming and married him six

grandchild. She is survived by her sons Dennis (Judy)

Mildred's life was a reflection of her strong Christian

faith. As a nurse, she cared for her patients with

compassion and thought of them as friends. Mildred was

the primary caregiver for her husband, Dan, while she

lovingly cared for him at home during his years long battle

with dementia. She was a terrific role model for her

children and grandchildren. Mildred was a strong,

independent woman who was loving, caring, hardworking,

unselfish, and a good listener. She was always there

to support family and friends. Her grandchildren

fondly remember playing with her in the backyard, going to

the zoo, taking long walks, and spending cherished time with

her.
