Born in Horry County, SC, on August 4, 1932, she was the daughter of the late Charles P. and Zilpha Gerald Mincey. Mrs. Piehl was trained as a Registered Nurse.

Mildred was a member of the Rockhound Gem and Mineral Club. She was also a reader, a painter, a potter, and a jewelry maker, and together with her husband she filled her home with the results of their talents.
