Mildred Frances Mawyer, 76, of Chesterfield, Virginia, passed away on Thursday, October 5, 2023. Born in Petersburg, Virginia on August 24, 1947, she was the daughter of the late Fletcher F.

Mildred was a longtime cherished member of The Heights Baptist Church, where her faith in God was shone brightly.

Mawyer; her children, Sandi Peterson and husband, Steve, Michael Mawyer and wife, Heather, and Ashley Mawyer; her grandchildren, Jessica and Megan Peterson; grand-pup, Pixie; siblings, Fletcher Mawyer, Jr., Warren Mawyer, Shirley Bradley, and Lillian Saunders; and many other extended family members and friends.
