Mildred was born and raised in Williams Lake, B.C. After her marriage to Gordon, Mildred and

Gordon raised their family on the farm in the Rockhaven district. Even though Saskatchewan

became home, she always kept Williams Lake and the B.C. mountains in her heart.

Besides grain farming, cattle, pigs and raising chickens and turkeys Mom grew a large garden.

She canned, pickled and made lots of jams and jellies. If you ever came to the house, you were

always welcomed by a cup of tea or coffee and fresh baked cookies, squares or fresh buns.

After raising their children Mom and Dad enjoyed fishing and their many trips to B.C. to visit

family and friends.

Mildred is survived by her children: Raymond, Kenneth, Margaret & Bud, Hazel, Patsy & Bryan,

Louise & Brian (deceased), Allen & Wanda, Paul & Linda, Brian & Lorie; 17 grandchildren, 19

great grandchildren; sisters, Jackie & Buzzi Frizzi, Donna Rae & Tommy Illnicki; brother-in-law

Gordon Wheeldon.

Mildred was predeceased by; husband Gordon in 2008 and over the years by her parents and

many of her siblings and their spouses and by her in-laws and brothers and sisters- in-law from

Gordon’s side of the family.

Cremation has taken place and celebration of life to be held at a later date. If so desired,

donations can be made to Cut Knife Special Care Home.

Special thanks to the staff at the Cut Knife Special Care Home who also became Mom’s family
