She was born January 4, 1929 to George Ambrose (Bruce) and Lottie Dortch Lynn. She married the love of her life, Howard B. Jobe, who she affectionately called, “Jobie”, on October 22, 1945.
Mildred was an avid quilter who shared her talents and her time with many others. She looked forward to her beloved weekly quilting group. Her talent and love of quilting and quilts garnered her various invitations to LBL and once aboard the Delta Queen. Mildred also loved the Smokey Mountains and her wildflowers expeditions with her friends and daughter. The wildflower treks were also part of her love for the woods surrounding her Standing Rock Creek home. Every spring there were walks to find the first lady slipper of the season, along with bluebells, bloodroot, trilliums, spring beauties, and more. Most of all, Mildred loved her children and family. She was quick to brag about her “perfect’ children and grandchildren.
