In her spare time, Mildred loved gardening and bird watching. She spent her entire nursing career, over 30 years, working in the maternity unit of St. Mary's Hospital in Amsterdam.

Scott (Linda); grandchildren John Ray (Sarah), Jessica Ray, Beth-Anne Sansig, Jonathan Scott (Kate), Graham Willbrant, and Leah Willbrant; great-grandchildren Quentin, Ella-Sophia, Deegan, and Caliana; sister Shirley Davenpeck; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. 

She was predeceased by her beloved husband, John Bramer who passed in 2004; her twin brother Harold Hemstreet; sisters Dorothy Miller and Norma Belden, and grandson Gary Paul Kietzmann, Jr.
