Mid is a long-time active member of First Presbyterian Church in Danville, IL where she taught Sunday School and participated in Ruth Circle. During WWII, Mid was a nurses aide at St Elizabeths Hospital. She was a Past President of the National Mail Carriers Auxiliary when her husband worked at the Danville Post Office. Over the past several years, most Saturdays you could find Mid enjoying her Saturday Lunch Bunch group. Mid was an artist, baked the best Christmas cookies, and made beautiful macram, crochet, and knit creations.

Mid loved her family most of all. Her favorite times were around the dining room table, with the whole family eating chicken and noodles. Family was never limited to just biological family. Anyone was welcome and treated as part of the family immediately. Mid was gentle, compassionate, warm, quietly funny, witty, and most of all loving. Mid will be missed by all that knew her.
