Mildred Marie Heidelberg

Mildred Marie Heidelberg, age 87, born November 25, 1937, in Houston, Texas, passed away on Saturday, December 7, 2024. She married Samuel Alford “Ace” Heidelberg on February 11, 1955, and they celebrated 57 years together before he passed on August 10, 2012, at the age of 77. They raised three sons, Alfred James “AJ” Heidelberg, Samuel Alfred “Sammy” Heidelberg, and Christian Lynn Heidelberg. Mildred was beloved by all who knew her. She was a loving and kind wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a devout Christian and an active member of Plainway Baptist Church in Laurel, Mississippi for many years. She was a seamstress by trade until retirement. After her husband passed in 2012, she relocated to Texas to be closer to her children and grandchildren, and eventually great-grandchildren. Outside of spending time with her family, she took great pleasure in crafting quilts for family members and strangers alike. She often donated her quilts to the church, charities, and the Spring Branch Fire Department. Her quilts are treasured by those who received them. She will be greatly missed by all. Mildred is preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Thelma Reynolds, husband Ace Heidelberg, sons Sammy and Christian Heidelberg, and seven siblings. Mildred is survived by her eldest son, AJ Heidelberg and wife Debra, sister Dorothy Hilton, grandchildren Emily Heidelberg, Melissa Hinchliffe and husband Craig, great-grandchildren Madeleine and Samuel, Chris’ goddaughter Kailee McGlothlin and her son Matthias, and numerous nieces and nephews. 

Graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm on Sunday, December 15, 2024, at Pipe Creek Cemetery in Pipe Creek, Texas.
