She was the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Dragon) Savel.  When she was younger her family moved to Denmark Center.  She attended Pierpont School graduating in 1947 in a class of thirteen.

Mildred married Fredrick Fenton in October of 1950 and they shared 59 wonderful years of love, Laughter and fun.  Together they enjoyed camping, traveling, playing cards and dancing.  They lived in Pierpont for many years where they attended Pierpont Presbyterian Church and were active members of the Pierpont Volunteer Fire Department, helping them with their famous barbecue dinners and other fundraisers for the fire department.  They were also avid bowlers.  They had a special talent for showing love and spreading joy to all their nieces and nephews.

Mildred worked at Ashtabula Rubber Co. for 25 years until they moved to Interlachen, Florida in 1971 where they were members of the Interlachen Volunteer Fire Department and the VFW.  She worked at Suntec Paints in Gainesville, FL.  She was a volunteer at the Palatka Food Pantry and a 42 year member of the Palatka First Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Women in Palatka, FL.  She joined Trinity Presbyterian Church in Ashtabula when she returned to Ohio a few years ago.
