We are so sorry to hear of Mil’s passing. She was a wonderful lady and loved by so many. Fountain Inn will not be the same. We will be praying for all of her family.

Rose Ann and family,
So sorry to hear of Mildred’s passing. Please know that others are thinking about you and praying as you move forward without sweet Mildred. She was such a beautiful lady and oh so outgoing! I think it is quite ironic that she was called home on Thursday before the “Aunt Het Festival”.
Love to each of you!

I can’t believe she is gone! Our family loved Mildred, Johnny and Mike. Fountain Inn will not be the same without our special Mildred. Thank you Rose Ann for your care of her for years. God Bless you!❤️🙏🏻
