Dexter, Missouri - Mildred Mooney, a resident of Lenoir Woods, will be celebrating her 100th birthday with a round of open houses for family and friends.

Born on April 17, 1916, Mildred Tucker grew up and graduated from schools in Couch, Missouri. She married Buford Mooney in 1937, and they made their home in Alton, Missouri, where he was a teacher until entering the service during WWII.

After the war they eventually settled in Dexter, Missouri where Mildred was a homemaker and then owned her own beauty shop. Mildred was very active in her church, serving in a number of capacities. She is the mother of two sons, Ron and Rick, 7 grandchildren, and 16 great grandchildren.

She moved to Columbia in 2009 where she has made many friends as a resident of both The Terrace and Lenoir Woods. She continues to remain active, with music therapy being one of her favorite programs.

To celebrate this milestone, Mrs. Mooney has expressed interest in members of her church family attending a small reception in her honor. As many of you know, Mrs. Mildred was a strong member of First Baptist Church of Dexter throughout her adult life.

She and her husband were a vital part of the Wednesday night dinner team. She still considers Dexter HOME and enjoys keeping up with Pastor George’s messages through videos provided by FBC.

Many members have kept in touch with Mrs. Mooney throughout the years and the thought of several attending her birthday party is “quite thrilling” to her! Dave Fleming has volunteered to drive the bus to Columbia for those interested in attending.
