Mildred Delois Officer

Birth date: Jul 4, 1950 - Death date: Aug 30, 2026

 

Mildred Delois Officer, age 76, passed away peacefully on August 30, 2026. Born on July 4, 1950, Mildred lived a life marked by love, faith, family, and friendship.

For the past 18 years, Mildred made Florida her home, where she continued to enjoy the things she loved most: spending time with family and friends, shopping, decorating her home, creating arts and crafts, and dining out with loved ones. She was known for her warm spirit, generous heart, and the joy she brought to those around her.

A woman of strong faith, Mildred was a member of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in East Moline, Illinois. She was also an active member of the Lend a Hand Club and enjoyed building lasting friendships through her community involvement.

Mildred retired from John Deere's Parts Distribution Center in Milan, Illinois, after many years of dedicated service. Following retirement, she embraced life fully, spending time with her family, pursuing her creative interests, and cheering on her favorite sports teams. While she loved all sports, basketball and baseball held a special place in her heart.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ava Marie (Hoyle) Officer and William Venus Officer; her brothers, James Officer and Charles Officer.

Mildred leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish her memory: her daughter, Michelle (Blackman) Pinto, and son-in-law, Hew Pinto; her beloved grandchildren, Marley Pinto and Mason Pinto; her sister, Ida Jo Davis, and brother-in-law, Gilbert Davis; her brothers, Tony Officer and Robert Officer; her sister-in-law, Cynthia Officer; and a host of nieces and nephews whom she loved very much.

Mildred's kindness, laughter, strength, and unwavering love for her family will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
