After elementary schooling, she attended the Visitation Academy, a high school and boarding school for Catholic Girls in Dubuque. This was in the midst of "the roaring 20's" and she had four older brothers at nearby Loras College. It was "the time of her life." She enjoyed meeting people from all over the USA and, having graduated (class of 1930), she set her sights higher and went on with her education, getting her teaching certificate at Iowa State Teacher's College in Cedar Falls (now U.N.I.). November 25, 1933, she gave up her teaching career to marry the love of her life, Charles "Scoot" Jennisch, a popular and well-known Decorah man who died in a tragic accident in July of 1955. Together they had three children: Cheryl, Margaret, and Bernard, all of whom attended St. Benedict School and Decorah High School and survive their beloved mother. They are: Cheryl Vitiritto, of Des Moines; Margaret "Maggie" Perkins, of Paris, France; and Bernard "B.J." Jennisch, who makes his home in Ankeny, Iowa. Being one of nine children, seven of whom preceded Mildred in death, she was blessed with good health and a long life and had the pleasure of being surrounded by a multitude of relatives, nieces and nephews and loving neighbors and years of devoted caretakers. Her children thank them all.
