Mildred and Albert spent the winter months in Daytona Beach, Fla. Mrs. Smith had worked as a book keeper for the Cook Coffee Company before becoming a full time housewife and mother. Mildred truly enjoyed life. She enjoyed Tuesdays at the Waterford Senior Citizens (until her health prevented this) and playing bingo and cards with her caregivers. She was an avid Yankees fan. Mildred's greatest joy was her family. She enjoyed family dinners and family visits and was a proud mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Anyone who had Mildred in their life was truly blessed. Mom, you have touched so many hearts. Anyone who met you loved you. A special thank you to Mildred's caregivers, Ida, Yoli, Rosie, Jessica, Sarah and Vivian who enabled Mom to remain and pass away in her home.
