Mildred was born March 25, 1932 in Jerome, Idaho to Gordon Raymond Jones & Callie Amelia Hartley and attended school in Twin Falls, Idaho until the summer after her sophomore year of high school when her family moved to Rupert.  She always said she thought the world was coming to an end because she had to move to Rupert.  Guess who was waiting for her at Rupert High School "Guy Meuleman".

When returning from New Mexico Guy and Mildred put their name in a draw for a Homestead farm in the Kasota Area and was the first name drawn.  They turned a piece of sagebrush into a beautiful home and farm with a lot of hard work.  In 1973 Guy and Mildred along with Guy's brother Franklin V Meuleman bought the Woolford Mills and changed the name to Snake River Seed.  Mildred did the bookkeeping for the business until it closed last year.  

Mildred was active in the Homestead Ladies club The Kasota Sage Hens, Soroptomist International club of Minico and The First Baptist Church of Paul.
