She retired in 1985, having worked 25 years as a Public Health Nurse for El Paso County. She was an advocate for social justice and racial equality.

Mildred was a wonderful woman and an amazing grandmother to so many grand and great-grandkids in our family. She never missed a birthday of any of them and treated everyone as special as the next. We love you Grandma Woolley and will miss your bright influence on our lives. We hope to be as great a humanitarian as you always were. Rest easy.
