I worked with Mildred at Wells Fargo. I would always enjoy our 6:00 conversations about dating and Timberland boots !  Her smile was the best. She loved life and her family. I am truly blessed to call you my friend. May God comfort your family and friends at this time. You are missed

I hadn’t seen Mildred for a while, but I enjoyed working with her.  She was straight forward and you knew where she was coming from and where you stood with her.  I was very sad to hear of her passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family, who I heard about quite frequently when we chatted.

I worked with Mildred for several years at Wells Fargo.  She had the best personality and was larger than life.  We would always have to stop and talk when we passed eachother and we would always be laughing so hard at our conversations.  She had a beautiful heart and kind soul. Going back to the office will not be the same without seeing her smiling face.  My prayers and condolences go out to all of her family.

I worked with Mildred for a couple of years. She quickly became a great friend, it’s not too often that you know someone so well they become like family. Mildred had a way of not letting anyone know what was bothering her always making lite of herself to make anyone feel comfortable. She will certainly be missed by many. To her kids and family she loved you all the time. She loved nothing more than spending time with family and friends. Mildred I will always hold our conversations and friendship close to my heart.

Mildred was larger than life. No matter where she went, she lit up the place with laughs and jokes. Her family meant more to her than anything in the world. I sat next to her at work for most of our time in Wells and there will not be a day that goes by that her memory and stories wont cross past my thoughts. She was a gift. I will miss you Millie. More so, my thoughts and prayers for every single family member. We were blessed to have known her. My friend, til we see you again. ❤️
