Mildred married Ernest Walter Campbell in January 1932. They lived in Ruth, Nevada and later on Tabeguache for several years before moving to Nucla. Walter preceded her in death.
After Mildred's Nucla home burned down, she moved to Montrose. She spent her final days with her grandson and his wife, Robert and Dottie Burbridge, and also had the help of her daughter Irene Burbridge.
Mildred enjoyed gardening and quilting and her job in the Relief Society.
She also loved to arrowhead hunt with her grandchildren and to teach them the art of beadworking after gathering wood and cedarberries. She enjoyed raising chinchillas and was a firm believer in canning, raising a garden and food storage.
Mildred had six children, three of which survive her. She also had thirty-two grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren.
