Mildred Marie Anderson, was born on June 21,1911, on the family farm in Orthel Township in Hancock County. She was the eldest of eight children born to Henry and Charsty (Munson) Anderson. She attended country schools in Orthel Township. She graduated from the Britt High School in 1928 and from Britt Junior College in 1930. Following graduation, she taught country school at the Orthel Township School for ten years and was a teacher to two of her sisters, Blanche and Marlys.

After teaching for ten years, she decided to enter the nursing profession. She attended nurse's training at the Kahler School of Nursing in Rochester, Minnesota and graduated in 1943. She worked in surgery at the Kahler Hospital for three years. She was a head nurse in the operating room and worked some with Dr. Chuck Mayo. She also worked for the Mayo Clinic Blood Bank and then moved to Dubuque where she worked for the clinic for three years.

She moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1951 where she worked in a doctor's office and surgery for 18 years and later worked in the hospital for eight years. Mildred retired in 1977 and returned to Britt.
