Her heart extended beyond her immediate family to her cherished grandchildren, Melanie Jeffers and Amy Snyder, and her great-grandchildren, MacKenzie Dague and Brian Dague III, all of whom were constant sources of pride and joy. Mildred’s circle of love also included her best friend, Diane Lutey, whose friendship meant the world to her, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.
