Mildred H Hickle, 86, of Three Oaks, passed away peacefully, Friday, September 29, 2017, in her residence in the presence of her family.
She was born September 10, 1931 in Three Oaks, Michigan, the second youngest child born to Arthur and Bessie (Fleck) Zebell.
Mildred grew up on her parent’s farm and graduated from Three Oaks HIgh School in 1949. She spent most of her life caring for her family and home. She and her husband, Jack Hickle, owned and operated Hickle Water Conditioning in Hebron, Ohio.
Mildred was a sixty four year member of Modern Woodmen of America. Mildred loved Lake Michigan and lighthouses and any large rock she could pick up and take home. She loved drives in the country and hot fudge sundaes especially “around the river.” For many years she volunteered at the election polls.
A favorite of Mildred’s grandson was her making fudge and pumpkin pie at Christmas time. She adored her two great grandsons and loved to take them to McDonalds for bacon double cheeseburgers and hot fudge before driving to Warren Dunes.
Mildred will be greatly missed by family and friends. She is survived by two daughters, Melanie Cheval of Grand Rapids, Heidi Wells of Florida; one grandson, Derek (Erin) Webb of Chicago; two great grandsons, Izaak Webb and Paul Webb; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Mildred was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Bessie Zebell; two husbands, Dale Brown, Jack Hickle, as well as a special friend, Don Reed; her siblings, Chester Zebell, Raymond Zebell, Delbert “Bud” Zebell, Arthur Zebell, Florence Harrington, and Lenora Hinman.
