A mother and homemaker, she was an avid reader and letter writer. She was a member of the AARP in Canton, Ohio. Despite the fact that her daughters reside in the East, due to her husbands transfers, Mildred and Stephen retired back home in Indiana at the Motherhouse of the PHJC Sisters they so cherished.

Mildred is survived by Stephen, her husband of fifty-five years, and four daughters. They are: Mary Christine and Michael LaMark, Margaret Rosanne and Thomas Melle, all of Pittsburgh, Penn., Marie Therese and Norbert Burleson, Bolivar, Ohio, and Marilyn Jane and Richard Ackerman, Durham, Conn. Ten grandchildren and two great-grandchildren also survive. She was preceded in death by her parents, a sister, Mary Furore, and a brother, Thomas Bobson.

Burial will take place in Fairview Cemetery, Mishawaka, following special graveside services at 11:30 a.m. at the cemetery mausoleum.
