Mildred Theresa Bartlett
June 30, 1927 to June 22, 2022

Today, June 22, 2022, our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend passed peacefully away at her residence at Kingsway Living in Springdale. Her 95 years was a blessing to both her family and the wide circle of friends and relatives, many of whom referred to her as "Aunt Mil". Throughout her long life, she never shied away from physical work nor her ever-abiding concern and love for her family. She was predeceased by her husband Sidney, her mother and father, Fannie and Roland Rideout, brothers Jack, James, Reginald, Herbert, Fred, Stan and Bert, sisters Irene, Sophie and Lizzie Maude. Leaving to mourn this tremendous loss is her son Kevin (Loretta), grandsons Jason (Sherri) and Kirk (Deidra), great-grandchildren Taylor, Annabelle, Keegan, Ava, Bridget, Gabriel and Aily. Also mourning her death is a very wide circle of relatives and church friends, and people around the community.
The final arrangements are entrusted to the caring and professional staff at Central Funeral Homes, Springdale.

-- "..........You can shed tears because they are gone,
or you can smile because they lived.
You can close your eyes and pray they will come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all that they left for you.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember only that they are gone,
or you can cherish their memory and let it live on.
You can close your mind and feel empty,
or you can do what they would want.

Smile, open your heart, love.....and go on"
