Later Mildred became Nana to her loving family who has grown to include 15 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren. Nana loved spending time with her family more than anything else. She especially loved hosting her family Christmas, always with a pot of her homemade noodles.

She did not appreciate squirrels visiting her birdfeeders.
