MILDRED AMMON WILSON
April 19, 1914-September 15, 2009
Mildred Wilson age 95 of McVeytown passed away Monday, September 15, 2009 at Valley
View Haven.  
She was the daughter of the late Maurice and Eva McCoy Ammon and was born in
Lewistown, 
Pennsylvania on April 19, 1914. After graduating from McVeytown Oliver High School,
Mildred earned 
her Teaching Certificate from Shippensburg State College.  Her teaching career
started at Lake Park 
Elementary School. She later taught at Burhnam Elementary where she was also
building principal.  She 
retired in 1975 after forty years of service.   She was an active member of the
Mifflin County Retired 
Teachers Association and of Delta Kappa Gamma.  Her long life spanned many
technological changes, 
social changes and historical moments in this country.  Her recollections of the
Great Depression and 
her early life were always of great interest. Mildred was a lifelong member of
Wesley Chapel Methodist 
Church at Lockport and was active at Spring Run Church of the Brethren in McVeytown.
 

She was preceded in death by her first husband, Marion Wallace Smith, of Stone
Valley, Huntingdon 
County in 1946.
She married Roy D. Wilson in 1967 who passed away in July of 1981.   She and Roy
enjoyed entertaining 
family and friends at their home at 56 Flower Drive, McVeytown.  Hardly a weekend
went by that they 
were not having a picnic or food fest of some sort with their group of friends. They
enjoyed gardening 
and outdoor work around the property.  They traveled extensively with friends to
Africa, Russia, 
Germany and Scandinavian Countries. Mildred was an inspiration to all that knew and
loved her.  She 
adored her children and grandchildren, always putting their needs and desires above
her own. She was 
a faithful friend and confidant.  Her legacy to the teaching profession will live on
through the hundreds 
of children whose lives she touched in Mifflin County.
She is survived by: her sons Charles M. Smith and wife Carol of Marietta, Georgia;
Robert Wilson of 
Lewistown; daughter Linda Matter and husband Gary of Omaha, Nebraska; three
grandchildren: Michael 
Smith and wife Sarah of  Seattle, Washington; Jennifer Morris and husband Jeff of
Omaha, Nebraska; 
Jason Matter and wife Jill of Denver, Colorado; and four great-grandchildren:
Caroline and Macie Smith,  
Jackson and Cooper Morris.


A memorial service will be scheduled in several weeks to take place at Spring Run
Church of the 
Brethren.
In lieu of flowers, contributions to Wesley Chapel Methodist Church and Spring Run
Church of the 
Brethren would be appreciated.
