Mildred Elizabeth Haubrich of Swift Current, SK passed away on Sunday, April 22, 2018, at the age of 84. Mildred born September 15, 1933, in Vanguard. She was the second youngest of five children born to Christian and Eva (nee Schwartz) Gaspers. Mildred grew up on the family homestead outside of Hallonquist.

They lived and farmed in the Hodgeville district and raised four children, Gwen, Lavonne, Conrad, and Shelley. She volunteered with the figure skating club and was a member of the CWL and Royal Purple. Mildred worked hard to maintain her yard, large vegetable garden, and flower gardens, as this was always important to her.

Mildred treasured the time spent with her family and was known as the "travelling Grandma", visiting her children and grandchildren. She was proud of her ten grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and was excited for two more on the way. When she moved to the Meadows family visits always brightened her day.
