She had a happy childhood and grew up in Luverne, AL with her older siblings, Wilma and Fred. In 1953, she married the love of her life, T.E. Hall, and together they built a wonderful life. Mildred worked at Dobbs Eye Clinic in Enterprise for over 35 years. She loved her job because it gave her the opportunity to invest in people. She and T.E. were longtime active members of Park Avenue Baptist Church, where they taught Sunday School and were a part of a close and loving community of friends and believers. In 2001, they moved to Dothan to be closer to their children and became members of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church. Mildred and T.E. were married 52 wonderful years before T.E. went home to be with the Lord. Upon T.E.’s passing, Mildred hosted a weekly widow’s Bible study in her home and enjoyed making memories with her friends and family in Dothan. Mildred was a great woman of God who loved Jesus with all of her heart and who lived her life to please Him. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who found great delight in spending time with her family. Having the gifts of service and hospitality, Mildred loved hosting friends and company in her home, cooking for people, and ministering to those in need. She loved deeply, prayed faithfully, served sacrificially, and lived joyfully. To know Mildred was to love her and to be loved by her. She truly lived her life well.           She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, T.E.
