Mildred Evelyn Cushman

Westbrook - Mildred “Millie” Evelyn Cushman, 93, entered into the care and keeping of her Lord and Savior on Saturday January 27, 2018. She left us peacefully at her home in The Stroudwater Lodge in Westbrook, Maine.

Mildred was born on April 30, 1924 to Edward and Marian (Milliken) Maby in Eliot, ME. She graduated from Traip Academy in Kittery and continued on to Maine General Hospital School of Nursing where she became a registered nurse. She married Kelsey Winston Cushman on November 27, 1948.

Mildred’s most treasured accomplishment was raising her three children.
