Mildred was born in Tyler Texas on August 6, 1923. She was raised on a farm, went to college for a business degree and proceeded to a career with Exxon as a Chart Integrator, although her dream was to be a nurse. She enjoyed her later years living independently at the Heights Tower in Houston. She enjoyed getting her hair done, taking her many walks and spending time with her family.
Mildred’s children from her marriage to William Frederick (1943-1953), Paul, Sandy, and Robert brought her much joy. Her son Robert joined the Army and served two tours in the Vietnam War (1969-1972) and was awarded 3 Bronze Star Medals. Paul served in the Air Force in Thailand at Udorn AFB (1964-1967). Her children were her world, and she was blessed with many grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
Preceded in death by her son Bobby (May 12, 2017) and great- granddaughter Samantha (August 19, 2008) and great grandson Christopher (June 28, 2020). Mildred is survived and dearly missed by her children Sandy & Paul (Norma), and her daughter-in-law Ann (Bobby). Her grandchildren Lisa, Abby(Paul), Hanna, Rachel (Dan), Jacob, Tyler(Kiana), Amberly, and Aimee(Richard).
