She was predeceased by her parents, Harry and Mabel Hermanson; granddaughter Susan Simpson; and husband of 19 years Alvin Srigley. Mildred grew up on a farm near the community of Petersfield, MB. She went to school there and later to Selkirk. Memories of the farm, the cold winters and warm summers, the people on the farm and the good times that were had by all when all the families gathered for special events at the farm, these times, were part of her fondest memories. Mildred and Al loved to travel all around Canada and the U.S.A. and were always on the go by car, bus or plane, seeing new sights and checking out the flowers as they went. They lived for many years in a little home on the Red River, then in a trailer court in Winnipeg in their final years. Mildred made many friends in both communities. Mildred loved to paint and go to concerts with her husband, which he often conducted. She enjoyed her home, getting company, old friends and receiving flowers. A special thank-you to the staff of unit 3 Tuxedo Villa who helped make the Tuxedo Villa her home in her last days. A graveside service will be held at Little Britain United Church, two miles north of Lockport (east side) on Wednesday, June 27 at 2:00 p.m. "Mom will be missed, may she rest in peace" NEIL BARDAL INC. 949-2200
