Allman, Jr., companion, Clarence McGraw, and by eight brothers and sisters. She graduated from Winecoff School and later retired from Corriher Mills in Landis. Mildred loved to travel and especially enjoyed her mountain day trips with Clarence and the annual mother/daughter trips with her special sister Margie and her daughters. Mildred and Margie were often referred to as the M&M Sisters. She also loved working with Clarence in their famous garden and loved to “put up” the many garden goodies. Her family was her heart and she was a compassionate and strong woman who will be very much missed.
