MILDRED ELLEN TOEDTER (JORGENSEN) "MILLIE" Mildred passed away peacefully in her home after a courageous battle with bone cancer. Born in Derby, CT., she moved with her parents to California in 1922. Mildred lived in Burbank, CA with her parents, her sister "June" and her brother "Robert."

She graduated from Burbank High School in 1938 and attended Woodbury College. In 1947she married William Toedter and they had a loving 50-year marriage, with four children, Freya Toedter , Gary Toedter (wife Donna), Ellen DeRose, and Allen Toedter (wife Kirsten), and three grandchildren Zeke DeRose III (wife Melonie), Eric Toedter , and Jason Toedter .

Mildred will always be remembered with love not only by her family, but by her many devoted friends and "adopted daughters" who could always count on her for a word of wisdom or a heart-felt hug. She was above all the classiest of ladies. She will be sorely missed.

A memorial celebrating her life will be held October 3, 2009, at 11:00 a.m., at Sherman Oaks Lutheran Church. Donations can be made to the Breast Cancer Society or her favorite charity, the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
