Mildred loved people. She was employed as a saleswoman in a dress shop and also served as a caregiver. She was a member of the Forester's and was also involved in the Elks Ladies' auxiliary; everyone looked forward to the delicious pies she baked for their many events. Mildred loved her friends and spent time with them shopping, camping, attending concerts, and watching the Dodgers, and when she couldn't go to a live game, loved watching baseball on television. She also played bunco and enjoyed trips to Las Vegas and Laughlin.
