Mildred Kidwell, 92, devoted Wife, Mother and Grandmother, passed away at Bloomington Hospice House on Saturday, August 25, 2018.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio on July 22, 1926, she was one of five children born to Clarence and Ruth (Springer) Fancher. Mildred married Robert “Bob” Kidwell on June 29, 1945, starting a beautiful marriage that would span 73 years. Mildred was known as a “grandma to the world;” her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy. She had a positive outlook on life and lived by the rules, passing these traits on to her family. Mildred took care of her home and raised her family while Bob worked and when she had moments to herself she enjoyed watching birds and a little chocolate. She was the sweetest, kindest, and most genuine person and everyone that knew her loved her. Mildred left an everlasting legacy and will be remembered fondly.
