Mildred’s mother was Ella-Henrietta Amelia Behling and her father was Lawrence Franklin Paul. She grew up in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and graduated from Cuyahoga Falls High School in 1937. Mildred was a caring, "people" person. She enjoyed working as a Fashion-Show Moderator, Manicurist, Receptionist, Sales Person, and Job Coordinator. Mildred attended Redeemer Lutheran Church in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio for most of her adult life. In 2000, she moved to Redmond, Washington to be close to her daughter. There she continued her Christian walk as an active member of All Saints Lutheran Church. Mildred also was an active member of the Redmond Senior Center Choir, and an avid Bridge and card player. She made many friends and brought joy to all who knew her. The family would like to give a special thanks to the Evergreen Hospice Team for their extraordinary care, personal commitment, and volunteer services. A Memorial Service will be held at 3:00 p.m., January 12, 2008, at All Saints Lutheran Church, 5501-148th Avenue NE, Redmond, Washington. Memorials may be made to the Youth Ministry at All Saints Lutheran Church.

I am very sorry to hear about Mid's passing. I got to know her through my grandmother, Ruth Mehaffey, who was a good friend of Mid's. She was a very classy lady who was full of life. I always enjoyed seeing her when she was visiting my grandma. She will be dearly missed.
