Mildred was born on June 12, 1913 south of Capron to Charles George and Mary Whilimena Endman Riecker and died May 13, 2009 at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center in Enid. She was raised in Capron and graduated from Capron High School. Mildred was a switchboard operator for the Capron Telephone Company until she married Howard Veatch on July 13, 1933 in Capron. They raised their family and farmed the Veatch Centennial Family Farm between Capron and Burlington. In 2001 Mildred moved to the Jet Community, and then in 2007 she moved to Cherokee Manor. Mildred’s entire life was devoted to serving her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This was reflected through her continual service to her church and the study of the scriptures. When there was a function at the church, Mildred was there to serve in any and all capacities. With her husband, Howard, Mildred also served as a substitute parent to many brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins. Their door was always open to anyone who needed a place to stay and a wonderful hot meal. Mildred was a devoted Granny to eight grandchildren, and sixteen great grandchildren. Granny’s homemade noodles, cookies, pies and crocheted afghans will be life-long treasured memories. Surviving are her children, Fred and Sandra Veatch of Newkirk, Mary Etta and Dean Campbell of Jet; her sister, Luella Leatherman of Clearwater, Kansas; eight grandchildren, Kyle Campbell, Troy Campbell, Kurt Campbell, Dana Ann Veatch, Michele Huston, Mary Alice Morency, Mark Longoria, Matthew Longoria and sixteen great grandchildren.
