Notes - Obituary from Find a Grave:
Mildred M. Queen, 93, St. Joseph, Missouri passed away Friday, May 20, 2016, at Mosaic Life Care.
She was born May 20, 1923 in St. Joseph, Missouri.
She graduated from Central High School Class of 1941 and attended the Kansas City Art Institute where she was the winner of a scholarship in fashion designing. Her admission to the school had come as a surprise, courtesy of a high school art teacher who had seen her promise as an artist and applied on her behalf by submitting some of her work. Although she was accepted, her time at the Institute was short due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor that occurred during her first year there and the hard realities that came with the wartime economy that followed.
Decades later, Ms. Queen still creates art
