Legacy
Mildred spent her early years in Virginia before moving with her family to Philadelphia. As a greeter at the Mastbaum Theater, she met a handsome young sailor named Paul. Together they volunteered for their community and raised three loving children.
Mildred worked for Oscar Hirt of Philadelphia for many years before beginning her long tenure with William E Howe CPAs of Delaware County, PA.
Family was everything to Mildred and she shared many parties, picnics, road trips and get together over the years. She travelled to Hurricane Mills to see the home of her all-time favorite, Loretta Lynn. She saw her Eagles play the Saints in New Orleans. Mildred attended numerous Navy reunions with her husband Paul. When her children were small, she scouted many cross-country trips as a family. She was thrilled to see her Eagles take home another Super Bowl victory this year.

He knew the importance of families having a trustworthy, local funeral home to help them memorialize their lost loved ones and navigate grief. Our beautiful funeral home in Woodbury was originally built in the late 1700s, and has since been rebuilt to honor its original charm and comfortable, warm feel. Once you walk through our doors, you become family....
