She loved crocheting and made hundreds of blankets for friends and family. She enjoyed Scrabble, Yahtzee, cooking, and entertaining. Mildred was an avid sports fan, following University of Kentucky football and basketball, as well as the Cincinnati Reds. However, her favorite teams were those her sons played on.
