Mildred Theresa
Passed away peacefully at home Wednesday, January 16, 2008 at age 95. Beloved wife of the late Benjamin Ely Stout. Born July 11, 1912 to George H. and Lydia Nee Zieher Vierheilig. Her father was owner and founder of the old Modern Pattern Co. on South First and Pittsburgh Streets. Mildred was the last family member to bear the surname Vierheilig, a family that settled in Walkers Point in 1855. Preceded in death by her brother, George W. Vierheilig in 1982.
Dearest mother of Joan Ellen Dr. Patrick Roe. Proud grandmother of Christopher P. Caroline Giessler Roe of Madison, Katharine Anne Roe of Chicago and Kevin M.

Mildred attended Greenfield School, South Division High, and Miss Browns School of Business in Milwaukee. She was employed at Northwestern Mutual Life until her marriage in 1936.
Mildred was the dearest and sweetest mother one could have, always providing support for her family. She was blessed with beauty, generosity, and a cheerful disposition. Mildred was a spirited pianist and a proud gardener with a yard of beautiful perennials.
The family will miss her lovely smile and laughter. She took good care of us all.
