Mildred was a licensed cosmetologist for much of her life and thoroughly enjoyed 'fixing hair'.  She was employed by Haspel Brothers for many years, and then owned and operated a down-town convenience store, BSL, with her husband Sherman, where she came to know many Walthall Countians and made some wonderful friends that she kept up with through the years.  'Mrs. Mildred' was known by many as a sassy lady with a quick wit and as one who could be counted on to 'tell it like it is'!  She rarely met a stranger - literally.  In her later years, Mildred enjoyed working as a security guard employed by Securitas.  When she finally retired completely, she enjoyed cooking her specialties of some seriously delicious red beans and rice with all the trimmings and her family's favorite vegetable beef soup. Mildred studied interior design and enjoyed decorating her home - she will be sorely missed by QVC, Amazon, and her UPS delivery drivers.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Sherman W. Brumfield; infant son, Terry Austin Martin; parents, Ottis and Sylvia Stinson; and sister, Georgie Merle Stinson Harper.
