In the early morning hours of Mother's Day, Sunday May 10, 2015, our Heavenly Father whispered sweet peace to his daughter, Mildred "Toot" Allen, and beckoned her to come home.

Mildred was born in Blythewood, South Carolina on October 13, 1930 to the late James and Fannie Ford. She was full of energy and love and it carried over throughout her life. She attended the public schools in Fairfield County and was a Caregiver for many years.   At a young age, she gave her life to Christ and she attended Calvary Baptist Church of Blythewood until her health began to decline.   Her family was important to her.  She enjoyed family gatherings and sitting on her porch eating Honey Buns and drinking her Pepsi.
