Mildred Hope Sanders, age 95, of Warsaw, passed away quietly on Tuesday, July 2, 2019, at 10:15 p.m. in her home.
Born Mildred Hope Carbiener in North Liberty on Dec. 26, 1923, she was the daughter of Raymond L. and Lalia E. Reed Carbiener. She was a graduate of North Liberty High School and went on to pursue training as a nurse. She graduated from Epworth Memorial Hospital’s School of Nursing, South Bend, in 1945.
The following year, Mildred was united in marriage to Eugene H. Sanders. The two made their home in North Liberty and Lakeville for many years, living in South Bend for some time and in Austin, Texas, too. They retired to Warsaw in 1991. Eugene preceded Mildred in passing on Oct. 19, 2006; their three children survive.
As a nurse, Mildred was naturally a giving, caring person. She could be quiet and enjoyed time spent reading and crocheting. She was previously a member of Community Grace Brethren Church, was strong in her faith and had an earnest love for the word of the Lord.
Those who survive with memories to cherish include daughter, Janet (Darrell) Johnson, of Warsaw; sons, Kent (Sharry) Sanders, of Austin, Texas, and Greg (Sharon) Sanders of Birmingham, Ala.; five grandsons, Darryl Sanders of Austin, Brad Sanders, of Columbia, Mo., Aaron and Ryan Sanders, of Birmingham, and Scott Johnson, of Carmel; granddaughter, Jennifer Mueller, of Katy, Texas; five great-grandsons, Jordan Sanders, of Austin, Brody and Ethan Sanders, of Katy, and Parker and Tommy Sanders, of Birmingham, Ala.; four great-granddaughters, Shelby and Lauren Sanders, of Austin, Alexis and Whitney Sanders, of Birmingham, Ala.; and brother, Ray Carbiener, of South Bend. In addition to her husband, those who preceded Mildred in passing include her brother, Gene Carbiener; and sister, Eldonna Donathan.
Private services are planned. Mildred will be buried in Fair Cemetery, North Liberty, alongside her husband. Titus Funeral Home of Warsaw assisted the family.
