Mildred L. (Tarr) Marquardt -- circa 1960

Mildred Louise Tarr is my 1st cousin 1x removed.  She was the daughter of my Grand Aunt, Edna Lillian (Tew) Tarr and her husband, Edward Clifford Tarr.  Mildred was born in N. Attleboro, Massachusetts on March 19, 1911 -- One Hundred Two (102) years ago today!  She grew up in Wallingford, Connecticut and she married Randall Oddy Marquardt there on June 11, 1938.  Mildred died in Wallingford at age 93 on June 9, 2004.  Mildred had one son, four grandchildren and now several great grandchildren.

Tonight we raise a glass in celebration and memory of Mildred!
