Mildred Irene Kroon, of Warwick, formerly of Rockville, MD, passed away on September 17, 2014 at Schervier Pavilion. She was 93 years old.

A family statement reads: “Mildred received her Bachelor’s degree from Hunter College with a major in Economics, an uncommon achievement at that time. As the wife of a pastor, she was very involved in the church activities wherever she attended, serving in many ways throughout the years. Well known for her culinary skills, Swedish traditions, hospitality and gift with words; her fortitude was an inspiration to many.”
