In Loving Memory

Mildred E Hailey was born on December 12, 1919 to Claude and Jessie Maxwell in Seattle, Washington.  Mildred passed away on December 14, 2011.  She graduated from Ephrata High School and continued her education at Eastern Washington State College, receiving a teaching degree.  On March 28, 1942, Mildred married the love of her life, Allen Hailey.  She was a kind and thoughtful person with a wonderful sense of humor.

Mildred was a dedicated teacher for many years, teaching at Westgate Elementary School in Kennewick, Washington.  Her hobbies were gold and playing bridge with her friends. 

She is survivved by her husband Allen, daughter Janelle Dupuis (Arne) and son, James (Jeanne); five grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren.

Grandma's service was really nice.  There were a lot of family and friends that attended, making the time an extra special one.  After the service we went had a get-together at the funeral home.  It was nice being able to visit with those family and friends that we don't get to see often enough.  I'm thinking that grandma was smiling down on us, glad to see everyone sharing special memories and enjoying the company.


There comes a time for all of us,
When we must say goodbye,
But faith and hope and love and trust,
Can never, never die.
Although the curtains fall at last,
Is that a cause to grieve?
The future's fairer than the past
If only we believe,
And trust in God's eternal care;
So when the master calls,
Let's say that life is still more fair,
Although the curtain falls.
