Mildred F. McNett
Mildred F. McNett of Mifflintown, formerly of Waynesburg, died Tuesday, December 25, 2012, in her home which she shared with her daughter, Cristy and son-in law, Rich, who were her caregivers for the past three years.
She was born November 6, 1927, in Metz, W.Va., a daughter of the late James Stantford and Eva Lee Byard Price.
On March 30, 1946, she married Virgil I. McNett, who died August 18, 1971.
Mrs. McNett received her accounting degree from Penn Commercial Business School in 1988. In her early years, she worked as a buyer for J.C. Penney Co. and after moving to Waynesburg worked at Greenway Manufacturing in Waynesburg. She later worked in card merchandising for American Greetings.
While living in Waynesburg, she was a member of First Presbyterian Church and was a former member of Order of the Eastern Star.
Mrs. McNett enjoyed camping, gardening and sewing, but her greatest love was the time spent with her grandchildren and family. She had a smile that could light up a room. In her quiet moments, she took pleasure in reading and tending her flower gardens.
