Obituary of Mildred B. Manley

~~Mildred Badore Manley, 81, returned to her heavenly home on September 11, 2017 after a valiant battle with cancer. Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in God supported her in this struggle and ultimately gave her peace.

Born in Santa Barbara, California on February 11, 1936, she was the daughter of the late Herbert and Martha Rochford Badore.

Millie had an adventurous spirit. She was an avid reader, enjoyed being in nature, and loved to travel and explore.   In her younger years, she studied nursing in Montreal, this sparked her love for science and thirst for knowledge.
