Raleigh and Mildred had two children, Susan in 1938 and Marshall in 1941. They were living in Calistoga when Mildred and Raleigh separated. Mildred and the children remained in Northern California where Mildred worked as a teacher for the Northern California Conference for ten years. By this time, the children were away from home in boarding school and Susan had a roommate named Maxine Larson. At this time, Maxine’s dad, Joseph, was single as her mother had passed away. Maxine introduced Mildred and Joseph and they were married in 1959. They lived happily in Chowchilla for many years, active in church and family events. Eventually, they moved to the Adventist retirement home in Yountville, California, where they celebrated their 31st anniversary. Joseph passed away in 1990 and Mildred eventually moved to St. Luke’s in Fortuna. She passed away January 30, 2001.
