Mildred Bohn

Mildred Maire Bohn, 77, of Livonia, MO, found her way to heaven on June 14, 2012. Mildred was a much loved and cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.
Mildred Bohn was born on October 19, 1934 in Salina, KS, the daughter of Everett and Anna (Jones) Burton. On July 10, 1951 she married Ishmael Bohn in Salina, KS and four children were born to this union. Mildred cared for her family and home in her own special way, never forgetting to take the time to admire the animals and wildlife which surrounded her. Mildred was a social bug and was eager to enjoy the company of a stranger. She also enjoyed reading romance novels, shopping, eating out, Angels, and swooning over Elvis Presley. Mildred’s grandchildren were her prized possessions so much they gave her a special title of “President & Founding Member of the Hysterical Grandmother’s Society,” which she earned proudly.
