Mildred was born to Stephen H. Orendorff and Mary Allie (Cunningham) Orendorff on March 5, 1920 in Mangum, Oklahoma. Mildred married her high school sweetheart, Harold Haston Brewer, on September 14, 1942 in Fort Belvior, Virginia. Mildred dedicated her life to serving her Lord and Savior. She was very active as a youth at First Baptist Church in Mangum, Oklahoma. She faithfully served along side her husband in the various churches he pastored. Mildred shared her love for her Savior by sharing His love with others.

Mildred loved her family. She was happiest when she was with her family, and doting on her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, the pride of her life. Of most importance to Mildred was that her family knew and were serving the Lord. She always had a concern for the lost. Mildred has always been the captain of the "Family Prayer Chain". When any family member had a concern or prayer request you could always count on her to be contacting the family and leading the way in prayer for whatever the concern was. Mildred spent countless hours talking with her Lord. She leaves a void in our lives, but has left behind a great legacy of faith, love, hope and wonderful memories for her family and friends.
