Mildred Mcfarland

Mildred Miller McFarland was born to the late Charlie B. Miller, Sr. and the late Willie Jane Watson November 15, 1928.

Her price was more precious than rubies. Strength and dignity were her clothing. When she spoke, her words were wise, and she gave instruction with kindness. A heartwarming smile was hers until the Lord called her home to rest Tuesday, December 20, 2011.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband: Willard McFarland, Sr., her sisters: Aretha Henderson, Ruth Johnson, Gladys McClendon, Isa Mae Brown, Willie B. Stewart, Grace L. Ross, Cottrie Mae Dykes, Marjorie Woods and one brother: Charlie B. Miller, Jr.

Mildred leaves to cherish her memories five children: Patricia Harris of Jacksonville, FL, Sharon Renee (Paul) Orduna of Omaha, NE, Willie James Jones, Willard (Geneasha) McFarland Jr. and Barbara M. McFarland, all of Valdosta, GA; one brother: Allen J. (Priscilla) Miller of Collinsville, VA; three brothers-in-law: Jimmy Wiggins of Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Eddie B. Tucker and Robert Woods of Valdosta, GA; sister in-law: Leila McFarland of Valdosta, GA; nine grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; eight great great-grandchildren; two goddaughters: Laurie Tedesco of Williamsburg, VA and Charlene Williams of Valdosta, GA; and a host of sorrowing nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

The homegoing celebration for Mrs. Mildred McFarland will be held Tuesday, December 27, 2011 at 11:00am from the Chapel of Godfrey Funeral Home.

Pastor Lee Barnes will officiate.
