Living in Grayville for so many years, Mildred had friendships that lasted almost a century with Marcella Schaich Dobbs and Margaret Groff Spencer, also lifelong residents of Grayville. Survivors include Mildreds daughter Elizabeth Jane Green, her son-in -law M. John Sterba, Jr., and her grandson M. John Sterba-Green, lll, all of New York City.
