Mildred “Honey” Frederick was born on August 4, 1917, in Oglethorpe, Georgia to Parker Sr. and Julia Joseph. Mildred married Albert Frederick. Through their union, they were blessed with two daughters, JoAnn and Jacqueline. She found Christ at an early age and became a life-long, faithful member of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church where she served as an Usher for many years. Mildred was blessed by being recognized as Antioch’s oldest living member thus far.
Mildred was a homemaker and reliable family member who often provided child care for many children in the family.
