Mildred Lee (Sumner) Underwood

Mrs. Mildred Lee Sumner Underwood, age 84 of Wartburg, met Jesus, the one she has longed to see for so long, on Thursday April 8, 2021. Mildred was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She lived her life sharing Jesus by teaching Sunday School for over 60 years, serving as a deacon’s wife, janitor of the church, and any other way that she was needed. She was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Wartburg. Her joy came from serving Jesus and enjoying her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, but loved every child she ever met.
