In the early morning of Sunday, October 27th, 2024 our brightest light went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Mildred Louise Parsons age 86, passed away in Fort Wayne Ind., She born in Breathitt County,KY on April 22, 1938 and was the daughter of the late Roland and Shrielda Miller.

Our family is deeply saddened by the loss but grateful she is no longer suffering and she was looking forward to going to heaven to see her family.

She loved her family beyond measure, she was always a giver, her heart was bigger than the sky. She helped anyone whether it be family or a stranger she didn't care who it was if they needed something and she had it, she gave it to them it's just the kind of person she was.

She was truly an amazing woman, mother, sister, grandmother and aunt. Our life will never be the same but we take comfort that she is in her Heavenly home and is happy being whole again.

In her early years she loved playing cards and trading books with her sister-in-law Francis Turner, and talking on the phone and laughing with her sister-in-law Connie Miller. She also loved talking with her sister Meggie, or as she would say sweet little Meggie.
She also would love it when she would join them in Sunday lunch when she could.
She and her sister Irene always had Sunday lunch at her house and made a day of watching TV, talking and laughing and listening to gospel music on TV. They were two peas in a pod.

She loved her grandkids and great grandkids dearly. She liked to crochet, read her Bible, cook and make cookies and candy at Christmas. She collected cookbooks and recipes from magazines.
