Mildred E. Mitchell, 97, of Milford, passed away surrounded by her loving family Thursday, March 8, 2018. She was born Feb. 25, 1921, to the late James H. and Mamie (Cooper) Warrington.
Mildred was a kind, thoughtful and loving soul who was adored by everyone who knew her. She loved God, her family and friends with all of her being.
