Mildred has the love and respect of her very large family. I met Mildred only a few times and her kindness and quiet sweetness was apparent. Mary Rich told me of how kind and loving her mother was to her and how she always had an open door for her family. My thoughts and prayers are with Mary, Ron, Cody and Chance Rich right now and all the family because I know how much they love her.
She called me her “adopted” daughter and embraced me with her unconditional love and warmth. Thank you, Momma
Rest in peace.
With love,
Your adopted daughter, Patty
We loved spending so many years with Mildred on 4 wheeling trips, Broken Bow Lake trips and at Richard’s house. We loved her and thought of her as family,
Tony, Bree, Jacob and Rhyn Page
My fondest memory of my Grandmommy is her open house and loving nature. She welcomed everyone who walked through her door with unconditional love and without judgment. Her home was our safe place — a refuge where we could always feel warmth and comfort surrounding us.
As a child, I remember when we would get hurt, she was right there to dust us off and doctor us up with her famous “monkey’s blood” (if you know, you know). Somehow, whatever it was, it always made everything better.
From the tree in the backyard to the football field in the front, from the living room floor to the back bedroom where we took our naps, every corner of her home held love. It wasn’t just a house — it was a sanctuary.
She made sure you felt that love every single time you walked through the door. Those are memories I will never forget, and I am so incredibly grateful that my children got to experience that same love too.
Knowing you was to love you. You were my sister in-law, but I loved and regarded you as a big sister. I do not have one favorite time but many that come to mind. Our family trips, Boating and 4 wheeling, or just visiting with you. You always had a bed for me. Take care of our family up there in Heaven and know that you are missed and loved down here. We will all meet again one day until then rest well in God's hands.
Rest in Peace Midge.
