Meet Mildred
Mildred Keeton was born in Mobile, AL, on August 14, 1918. Her parents were Guy and Jettie Nabors. After Mrs. Keeton was born, they moved to Amory, MS. Mrs. Keeton grew up there. After high school, Mrs. Keeton attended beauty school. She moved to Red Bay, AL, to further her beauty career and met her husband, Mr. Herby Keeton. They married on December 24, 1937, in Tupelo, MS, and they were married over 57 years. Mr. Keeton worked for the railroad, and they moved around a lot. Mrs. Keeton had four children, Guy, Eddie, Kay, and Brenda.
Mr. Keeton got stationed with the railroad in Birmingham, AL, in the 1940s. In the 1960s, Mrs. Keeton began sewing for the public and was known as a master seamstress. She began working for the Montclair Baptist Nursing Dorm when she retired from sewing. She was a housemother. Mrs. Keeton attended Ruhamah Baptist Church in East Lake for 50 years. She taught 4th grade Sunday School and was involved in the Women’s Ministry Union. When Mr. Keeton passed, Mrs. Keeton moved to Atlanta, GA, when she was 80 years old to live with her son Guy. When Guy retired, they moved to Trussville, AL, in 2005. Mrs. Keeton is a fantastic lady. We were excited to celebrate her special day.
