She served as PTA president and librarian for St. Rose of Lima school and treasurer of the Carpenters Local Womens Auxiliary for many years and volunteered in the office of Bishop Ward High School.

Mildred liked to play Scrabble and could be found at the Cross Plains Senior Center enjoying game night well into her mid-90s. She was an avid reader and was sometimes seen sweeping the sidewalk in front of the Cross Plains Public Library as a volunteer or sitting in the swings out front when the weather was nice. She was an excellent seamstress and quilter and enjoyed cheering for her Kansas City Royals and Kansas City Chiefs. This past summer she celebrated her 99th birthday as Grand Marshal of the Cross Plains Barbarian Festival Parade. In her later years, her fondest wish was to live to be one hundred years old.
