Mildred was born in Belton, Texas, to A.J. McFarland and wife, Addie Lou Boyd, the second of five children. They moved to Waco when she was 12 years old and remained there, graduating from high school. She worked various jobs while in school and after graduation. She married Gerald L.

Together they had four children and raised their family in Waco. Gerald passed away in 1989. She worked most of their years together and built a career as a full charge bookkeeper, while managing a home and four children. In 1991 Mildred married J.L. Scott and moved to Temple, Texas, his hometown. They had a wonderful time traveling the US in his travel trailer for weeks at a time. She was widowed again when Mr. Scott passed away in 2000. She moved back to Waco to be near family and spent time volunteering at her church. In 2005 she married Clifford Teer and had a great time traveling and cruising the world with him. He passed away in 2015. She moved to Conroe to be near her daughter, when she needed to be in Memory Care.
