August 6, 1917 — August 28, 2012
Mildred Margaret (Vieths) Luhman was born on August 6, 1917 to August and Emma (Hinrichs) Vieths in Goodhue County.
She was baptized September 23, 1917 at Grace Lutheran Church, rural Goodhue by Pastor Gerhard Hinnenthal. Her Godparents were her two grandmothers, Catherine (Pickenpack) Hinrichs and Margaret (Reese) Vieths. Her earlier school years were at Grace Lutheran Parochial School until the family moved to the Hogsback farm in Belvidere Township in 1926. Mildred then attended school district #32 before going to St. John's Parochial School in rural Goodhue. Mildred was confirmed May 31, 1931 at St. John's by Pastor Weindorf.
Mildred was well known in Red Wing where she had been employed at the Peterson Rug & Drapery Co.
On June 8, 1938 she married H. Raymond Luhman at St. John's in rural Goodhue. Their first two farms were in the Clay Pit area. In September 1947 they purchased their own dairy farm near Bellechester, MN where Mildred raised their 12 children.
In March 1984 Mildred & Ray moved to Deer Valley in Belvidere, MN. Her husband died May 26, 1987 at age 73. Mildred moved back to the home farm June 1996 where she continued to reside until entering Pine Haven Care Center in January 2009.
Mildred was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church, rural Goodhue. She truly enjoyed her plants, flower beds, ceramics, crocheting, baking birthday cakes and gingerbread boys, reading her daily devotion books and treasuring her family and friends.
