Family was a very important part of Mom's life and she could spend hours listening to stories about her children,grandchildren and great grand children.
Mildred loved life and was active in many organizations ... Home and School, Women's Institute, Sunday School and the Prison Ministry Program where she shared the word of God with the inmates.
Mom was willing to try anything from Rollerbladeing, riding on the back of a motorcycle, square dancing, curling and knitting and most of all writing ... she kept journals which she had someday hoped to compile into a book.
A memorial service in Mildred's honour will be held Friday, Sept. 24, 2010 at 2 p.m. at Church of the Nazarene, Fitzoy Street, Summerside, P.E.I. Interment will be held at a later date at Fair Haven cemetery in Salisbury, N.B.
