Mildred (Pat) E. Daugherty was called to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday January 21, 2023 at her daughters home, after a short illness. Family was there as she took her last beautiful breath. She was born October 14, 1940 being the first of twins with her sister Georgianna who died on May 3, 2015. She was the daughter of George Washington Roberts and Mary Martha Roberts in Warren, Ohio

She graduated from Chalker High School in Southington, OH in May 1958, and married Jack Daugherty June 13, 1958; they shared 29 years of marriage before Jack died on May 9, 1987

Mildred loved dancing her whole life and danced the polka for the last 20 years with her dancing partner George. We called her our 'dancing queen'. She loved tending to her indoor plants and loved gardening. As a younger woman she loved playing volleyball. She traveled a lot in her life. She and Jack traveled the US and parts of Europe before his passing in 1987. She traveled to Germany for her granddaughter's wedding. She loved being with family most of all and adored her five grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Her latest grandson Cashel was born on her last birthday and that was a highlight of her year. She was her grandchildren's biggest fan and never missed a sport or school event. She was a special light to everyone who met her. Mildred retired from the Newton Falls School district as custodian. She attended Newton Falls First Christian Church and always tried to be a faithful participant.
