Mildred R. Hathaway, 94, of Bradford Villa died April 23 (10:35 pm). She was the mother of Mary Lou McGinnis and had moved to Quincy in 2001 where she lived with her daughter for 31/2 years before moving to Bradford Villa. There she was lovingly cared for and watched over by Jeannie Hattemar and all her staff. Her family is very grateful for that special care. Middy, as she was known, was born May 4, 1913 in Danville to Swedish parents, Frederick and Emelia (Johannson) Olson. She married Lewis F. Hathaway in 1930 and the couple moved to Rossville where they provided a wonderful life for their family until Lewis' death in 1963.

When the winters got too long for her in Illinois she moved to Largo, Florida, where she lived for 22 years and enjoyed friends and travel and loved the game of golf. She played several times a week until the age of 87 and had 4 holes -in-one in her lifetime.

Travel was also a great passion and she made over 16 trips to many countries on 6 continents. She was a member of Anona Methodist Church in Largo and had attended Faith Presbyterian Church in Quincy.

In addition to her husband she was preceded in death by 3 brothers, 2 sisters and her son-in-law Alex.
