Mildred Alice Herrin
July 14, 1917 - January 14, 2020
On Tuesday, January 14th and at the remarkable age of 102 and a half, Mildred Herrin passed away in Austin, Texas surrounded by family and caregivers. Ms. Herrin was born July 14, 1917, in Houston, Texas where she lived until recently moving near family in Austin. Born to parents, Thomas I. Parr, Sr. and Florence Parr, and her older brother Thomas “Boots” Parr, Jr. Mildred Herrin has told us countless times of how she met her husband Harold Herrin, so we will not repeat it again here. Mildred and Harold married in 1934 and celebrated 57 years of marriage before Harold’s death in 1991. Mildred and Harold were loving parents to Barbara Tocker, Bobbie Nassr, Harold “Buzzy” Herrin and Sandy Herrin (of beloved memory). Mildred Herrin was the family matriarch of 14 grandchildren and lived to know her many Great and Great/Great Grandchildren. Our blessed Mildred has had more than a usual share of both fortune and hardship, but throughout her life, she had a way of connecting with people of all generations. After her 100th birthday, Mildred had resigned herself to a life of excellent care, shrimp dinners and an occasional margarita. We are forever grateful for the caregivers, friends and family that came through her life and making her days so special.
