Line 11:
Some of the many special people in Mildred’s life include her former son-in-law, Doug Dowdy and her late son-in-love, Johnny Powell. Both of them considered her their “roll” model and loved her dearly. Her son-in-law, Russell, will always remember their Mondays spent together when he would drive her to run errands and check out the latest “As Seen On TV” items. John Ferrell’s fondest memory is of her singing her robust version of “Shortnin’ Bread.”
Mildred enjoyed gardening and landscaping, watching birds and wildlife, and fixing things. A common nickname for her by her children was “George,” because she often spoke of doing “man’s work.” She was ingenious when it came to repairs and modifications to help maintain her home right up until just days before her passing. It was not unusual to catch her digging up a shrub in her yard to move it even into her mid 80’s. She also loved the many dogs she and her family had over the course of her lifetime, but her Pomeranian, Baby, had become her sole, constant companion and was very special to her.
Strong in her Christian faith, Mildred was a member of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church of Lexington where Pastor Michael Huebner and the women’s group lovingly welcomed her. Since she was anything but typical, Mildred requested no usual visitation and funeral, but instead will be joyously celebrated and interred at Doc’s Point of the Brashear Farm at a later date when “All’s well.”
