Mildred was born at home, in Callahan County, on November 9, 1930. Her parents were Austin Earl McClure and Ella Virginia (Norcross) McClure. She graduated from Eula High School in Eula, Texas in 1948. While in high school, Mildred was on the basketball team and won many awards and medals; she enjoyed riding horses, and she worked on a farm. She also was a talented musician and frequently sang and played the piano at the Eula United Methodist Church. Mildred married Dabney Burns Warren on July 15, 1950 in Eula, Texas. They lived in Abilene, Midland and Eula throughout their years together, but Mildred was happiest during the years they lived on her farm in Eula. She enjoyed raising flowers and had a love for photography. Mildred was a member of the Eula United Methodist Church and then a member of First United Methodist Church in Abilene. She had a strong prayer life and was a blessing to all who knew her. Mildred had several jobs throughout her life. She worked for Banner Dairy, Western Cotton Oil Co., WTU and was the accounting secretary for Payless Cashways Lumber in Abilene. Her speed and attention to detail made her indispensable to the business. She was hired by Payless while the store was still being built in 1971 and worked there until she retired in 1998. The job she treasured the most however, was raising and looking after her three children. She was a devoted mother who always placed her children's needs above her own. Mildred also loved being a grandmother and making mud pies with her granddaughters when they were little.
