She attended public school in Chatham county. She was a student at the original Haven Home School in Savannah. 

 

She was married to Claude McCray who preceded her in death. To this union no children were born.  But she loved his children, Ruben, Ike, Rayfield and Jeanette, as her own and they loved her as well.

 

As a domestic worker, she had various jobs and employers until retirement.

 

Mildred attended Zion Hill Baptist Church as a young child where she accepted Christ as her savior. She later joined Julia Fountain AME Church and served faithfully as an usher and missionary.
