She married Bose Halcomb on Feb. 10, 1938 in Altus and together they lived and raised their family in Altus until he preceded her in death in 1992.

Mildred was an accomplished homemaker. A wonderful cook with some of her specialties being cornbread dressing and fried potatoes known to the grandchildren as grannie taters. She enjoyed watching baseball, working word search puzzles and reading the newspaper which kept her up with current events.
