Mildred Evelyn Quigley

Mildred Quigley, 100, of Unionville, Missouri, passed away at the Putnam County Memorial Hospital in Unionville on Tuesday, February 1, 2022.

Mildred Evelyn (Carr) Quigley was born in Putnam County, Missouri, on August 4, 1921, the daughter of Thomas Sylvester and Ethel Babe (Hunt) Carr.  She was reared on the farm and graduated from Unionville High School in 1939. Mildred worked in the Putnam County Courthouse several years and also with Davis Chevrolet in Unionville.  She worked 30 years as city collector for the city of Unionville.  She had a delightful and fun personality, and a little bit of a good-natured ornery streak.  Mildred never met a stranger and had a wonderfully strong and independent spirit.  She was a lifelong member of the First Christian Church in Unionville.

Mildred is survived by two sons, Harry “Tom” (Sherry) Quigley of Milan, Missouri, and Mike (Elizabeth) Quigley of Citrus Springs, Florida.  Four grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren also survive as well as good friend John Quigley of Yankeetown, Florida.

Mildred was preceded in death by her parents, a brother, Jim Carr, and three sisters: Wilma Cullum and two sisters who died in infancy.

A celebration of life for Mildred is planned for the spring.  Memorials may be made payable to the Unionville Cemetery and entrusted with Playle and Collins Family Funeral Home, 709 S. 27 ^th , Unionville, MO  63565.
