Mildred Brase

Mildred Brase, 93, was born December 18, 1921 at Owensville, Missouri and died November 1, 2015 at Springfield, Missouri. Much loved wife of Herbert A. Brase, mother of Beverly Boehmer (Jerry), Springfield and Sue Zoll (Bob), Willard. Grandmother of Jill Boehmer Cobb, Bruce Boehmer, Amy Zoll Scott and Lori Zoll. Great-grandmother of 10. Preceded in death by parents and siblings, she was the fourth of five children in the Rev. Benjamin and Mollie Wulff family, and taught in rural schoolhouses before and after her June 28, 1942 marriage to Herb. She worked in St. Louis to support the war effort and for the Missouri State Employment Service until her retirement in 1989. A life-long Methodist, she shared her beautiful soprano voice in choirs and was a featured soloist on numerous occasions. Growing up in a parsonage family, she was a leader in many groups including the WSCS and United Methodist Women at the local and state levels. Her devotion to church and job was exceeded by her love and attention to spouse and family. Their needs always came first and no sacrifice was too great. She is sorely missed by family and friends.
