Beloved, wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend,
entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Thursday, September 5, 2019.
Mildred Armstrong was born In Sayre, Oklahoma on May 28, 1930 to Bessie and
Houston Moseley. Mildred spent her childhood in the Sayre area with her
parents and brothers, Delbert, Lee, Howard, and sister Barbara. She attended
Doxey Schools and was married to her husband, Donald Armstrong, in Wheeler,
Texas in 1947. The two were blessed with a daughter, LaDonna, and a son,
Morris.
They relocated to Bagdad, AZ in 1950, where they established their home for
the next 27 years. She worked in the only store in town beginning as a
cashier, then bookkeeper, and eventually became manager of the store. She
retired in 1977 and moved back to Elk City where she worked in the Dietary
Department at Elk City Regional Hospital. In 2000 she moved back to Arizona
settling in Prescott Valley to be near her children, grandchildren and
sister.
Mildred is survived by; grandchildren John Nelson IV, Julie Nelson, Brandan
Armstrong, Andra Hamilton and husband Shannon ,step granddaughter Amanda
DeBuigne and husband Jeff, great grandchildren Martin Armstrong Gavaldon,
Leon Armstrong, sister Barbara McBride and husband Jack, sister-in-law
Charlotte Moseley, daughter-in law Frankie Armstrong, son-in-law Mark Dabbs,
and many beloved nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
Besides her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Donald
Armstrong, her children, daughter, LaDonna Nelson Dabbs, son, Morris
Armstrong, son-in-law John Nelson III, and her brothers Delbert Moseley, Lee
Moseley, and Howard Moseley.
Mildred was a very patient person. She loved
nothing more than going fishing and she could out stay and out fish all of
us! She may not catch anything, but it was the peace and quiet of nature all
around her that drew her. And she loved to cook! Mildred was a wonderful
cook. She could cook anything and everything, and well. And she had the
patience to teach her skills to anyone who wanted to learn. But Mildred had
the advantage of coming from wonderful cooks. Her mother was a great cook,
and so was her Grandmother Moseley! She was a culinary genius! Mildred will
be dearly missed by all of her family and friends. She was a strong person,
a person who always had time to listen.
A graveside service will be conducted at 10 a.m. Tuesday, September 17, 2019
at Fairlawn Cemetery, Elk City, OK.
The family requests that in lieu of
flowers or other considerations, donations be made to Hospice of the Pines
or the American Cancer Society.
