March 26, 1924 - June 2, 2024
Mildred was born in Trail, BC, on March 26, 1924. She trained in Victoria BC, for a career in education. Her first teaching position was a grade two/three class at White Rock Elementary School where she taught for two years before marrying George Davis in August 1947. Sons Gordon and Alan were born in 1948 and 1953. Mildred was devastated when her beloved husband died suddenly in February 1987, but she faced this harsh reality with grace and strong determination to begin a new chapter in her life, a chapter whose pages she filled with worthwhile activities and newfound interests. Mildred enjoyed a close relationship with her sons Gordon (Kelowna) and Alan in (Surrey); her grandchildren, Tracy (Kelowna), Karen (Vernon), Holly (Kelowna), Clinton (Chilliwack), and Amy (Dave Waldner (Chilliwack); great-grandson, Logan (Chilliwack); niece Jane (White Rock); and her brother, Raymond (Vancouver).
Her family and fiends including Alan's partner Linda and her son Harry as well as former grade-one student, "my girl Leslie," enabled Mildred to remain in her home, because visiting Mildred/Mom/Grandma/Auntie Mildred was always a joy and a treat. She was an unfailing source of encouragement, support, caring, wise advice, and love.
We will miss Mildred terribly, but she will always be with us in our hearts and in our memories.
