Mildred had been a member of Williamsville Baptist Church since 1943 where she was actively involved as a dedicated Sunday School teacher, pianist, and founder of Williamsville’s first Vacation Bible School. She and her sister-in-law, LaNelle Lindsay Hall would drive a pick-up truck all over the surrounding area and bring the children to Bible school where they tirelessly taught. As those children grew up, she taught them in an adult Sunday School Class in later years.
We would like to say “Thank you” to Atwood Personal Care Home, Lexington Manor, and Baptist Hospice for the excellent care given to her these last few years.
Funeral services are 2:00pm Thursday at Culpepper Funeral Home. Visitation will be from 12 noon until service time at Culpepper. Interment will be in Parkway Cemetery.
Pall Bearers will be her grandsons Chris Edens, Dodd Lindsay, Ryan Lindsay, her great grandsons Ethan Lindsay, Dan Lindsay, and nephews Duff Lindsay, Telford Lindsay, and Steven Pilgrim.
