Mildred passed away May 12, 2022 at Good Samaritan Society in Loveland. She was born June 25, 1927 to Alva and

The family moved to Denver and then to a farm east of Galeton where Mildred lived until she married Adam Slonksnes Sr.

moved to Greeley where she had several jobs, including working for Joslins until they moved to the mall. She then drove

school bus for District 6 until she retired.

Mildred spoiled the family with her wonderful cooking. She loved Bingo and playing slot machines in Black Hawk and

Laughlin, Nevada. Another joy were angels and her dolls and she had collected close to a thousand of them. She liked

camping and snowmobiling and loved Pekinese dogs and always had one until just before moving to the nursing home.
