She was born on a family farm near Lavery, PA on February 3, 1926, the daughter of the late Andrew and Flora McLaughlin. She lived on the farm until 1988 when she moved to another family farm near Crossingville, PA.

A 1943 graduate of Albion High School, Mildred went on to study education at Edinboro Normal School and began her teaching career in a one room schoolhouse with all eight grades in Elk Creek Township in 1945.
