Patricia Frankenfield wrote a sympathy message

“Mildred will be greatly missed by all. We were cousins & also widows together. I remember when we were kids & your family would come to visit on a Saturday. We'd be watching T.V. & you would say seat saved when you got up to do something. I remember sledding together down that big hill when you lived at home. We had a lot of fun, but as we grew older and had our own families we drifted apart. You endured a lot through your life, you are now at peace. Love Patty”
