She worked side by side supporting her husband’s work at United Mine Workers of America Local 4731, and by helping organize the first Pony League baseball teams in Crucible. Mildred also helped on Election Days, driving the elderly to the polls to vote. She also went door to door, collecting for numerous charitable organizations.
