Our mother and grandmother went home to be with her Lord Sunday December 18, 2016 after a lengthy illness. She was born November 2, 1926 to Frank and Winnie Eads. She married Lamar Burt in 1945 until his death in 1948. She then married Louis Sauls. Mrs. Sauls worked at all three cotton mills until her first child was born. She was loved by everyone that knew her. Mildred was known for her kind spirit and loved doing for others always putting herself last. She loved her children and grandchildren so much and her eyes would light up when one of them walked through the door. She will be greatly missed but God decided she had suffered enough so he took her home where she was more than ready to go. Mrs. Sauls loved the Lord with every ounce of her being. So through all the sadness and emptiness we feel, we take comfort knowing she is no longer in pain and that we will all be reunited some day. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lamar Burt; son, Jim Sauls; daughter, Janice Beck; both parents; 4 sisters and three brothers.
