Years later, Mildred related taking the trolley train from Sebastopol to Santa Rosa and getting a transfer up Mendocino Avenue to her workplace all for a nickel. Mildred was the Worthy Matron of Gold Ridge Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star in 1952. Mildred enjoyed botany, particularly liking gladioli, azaleas, and rhododendrons. Mildred died on February 23, 1992 at a rest home in Santa Rosa.
