"Granny Mim" loved researching her family's genealogy and helping others trace their ancestry as well. She was a master at selling things online. She enjoyed going to plays and carport sales. She loved hosting and attending family gatherings. "Granny Mim" cherished lunches with her grandchildren and great-grands. She delighted in taking and reminiscing over her extensive collection of family photos. Sitting on her deck was one of her favorite past times while watching birds and tending to her flowers.

"Granny Mim" is survived by her children, Sandi Pike, Patsy Bierbrodt (Jerry), Joellen Evans (Wib), Kelly Price (Bob), and Keith Milford (Trish); her eleven grandchildren, Wilson, Ty, Cassie, Emily, Shelby, Samantha, Rande, Ray, Jake, Brady, and Jacob; her nine great-grandchildren, Liza Hayes, Mary Wilson, Ryan Gwyn, Emmye James, McKinley, Jenkins, Levi, Mary Nell, and Brady James; and her sister's children, Mike, Pam, and Patrick.
