Mildred enjoyed babysitting her grandchildren, as well as, babysitting for others. Her many pastimes were sewing, baking, and telling stories and jokes. She especially liked playing cards with friends and dancing the Cajun two-step. This woman was truly remarkable. We loved her and will forever cherish her memory.
