SEXTON, MILDRED
Mildred Sexton passed away peacefully at the Health Sciences Center in St. Johns, on August 21, 2020. She was born on September 28, 1950, eldest daughter to Agnes Reardon (Hurley)† and Patrick Reardon. She is survived by her daughters, Juanita Irizarry (Dennis) and Patsy Sexton (Vincent), grandsons, Blade Sexton and Evan Tipping, and by her siblings: Herbert Reardon (Mary), Benedict Reardon (Imelda), Ida Sexton (John), Louis Reardon (Norma), Mae Jackson (Wayne) and Eric Reardon (Eileen). Millie loved her home; she loved Goose Cove and never tired of her view of the harbor. In later years, she did not spend much time visiting or travelling as she would get homesick after a few days away. She enjoyed visits from family and friends reminiscing or catching up over a cup of coffee at the kitchen table. Her daughters agree that she was a strong, self sufficient and independent. Over the years, she was one who was able to turn her hand to anything she tried, and these things included tole painting, macramé, knitting, crochet, and various other crafts. (Home knit socks will be missed by many.) Summers would find her roaming the hills for partridge berries or the sometimes elusive bakeapple. Another hobby of hers was reading. Life was not always easy for Millie. She overcame many obstacles. A notable one was when she went through lung transplant surgery in 2009. Afterwards, she had to relearn to walk and even write but it was her love of family and belief in the power of prayer that sustained her. Today we grieve a wonderful Mom, Nan, Sister, Aunt and friend. Days will never be the same without her, but it comforts us to know that she is free from pain and in God’s embrace. Til we meet again…
