Mildred Holder was born in Port Arthur, TX to Bennie Otto and Naomi Dickens Bonnet on November 1, 1919. She graduated Valedictorian of the Class of 1936 from Medina High School and received a teaching certificate from Southwest Texas University at San Marcos.

Mildred and Albert dairy farmed in south Texas until 1975, when they started water and oil well drilling around the state. Mildred was bookkeeper for the family businesses as well as for other enterprises.
Grandma, as she was known by all, was famous for her generous giving heart and her love of yard work. She funded many of her grandchildren's college educations, including degrees in engineering, medicine, law, broadcasting, marketing, music and aviation. Her loving heart was touched by others suffering, and she gave generously to help anyone in need.
