Memorial services will follow, 11 a.m., Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 140 E 56th St, Tacoma. Pub Date: 1/27/2006 Mildred Helen Erb Calkins Mildred's long life ended on Jan. 21, 2006, and although she failed physically over the past year, her spirit - her connection to God, remained strong. She was born Feb. 2, 1913, in Hankinson, ND, to William & Helena Wollmuth Erb. A couple of years later the family moved to a farm in the Douglas area and that is where she grew up. In 1934 she married Clarence Calkins. In 1942 they moved their family of 5 children to the Puget Sound area. They eventually built their home on McKinley Hill & stayed there for nearly 50 years until Clarence's death in 1999. Here, they were members of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church where they served the Lord with gladness all those years. For many years, until early 2005, Mildred was part of a group of Lutheran Women's Missionary League members who met weekly for Bible study, lunch, and making quilts. They shipped hundreds of these beautiful works of art, warmth, and comfort to needy folks all over the world. As a member of the Good Shepherd Craft Guild she enjoyed using her talents as a fine craftswoman making practical and decorative items for sale at their annual Holiday Faire. She crocheted hundreds of afghans, from white baby baptismal size to colorful ones of all sizes. In addition to her handiwork she was also a really good cook and a very successful gardener. She was bright and witty and brought joy and laughter to family and friends. Mildred was preceded in death by her husband Clarence, daughter Sharon Swanson, sons-in-law Gordon Swanson and Richard Viertel, brothers Howard and Harry Erb, nephews Gordon Struck and Roger Erb. Her survivors, all of whom thank and praise God for His grace, mercy, and love to His servant Mildred, include daughters Marilyn Viertel, Lorraine (Mike) George, sons Richard and Donald (Janet) Calkins, 7 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, sisters Esther Bundy, Ada Struck, Lillian Rodahl, brothers Arnold and William Erb, plus many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be offered to Mount Rainier Lutheran High School or Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Graveside service will be at 9:30 on Friday, January 27, 2006 at Fir Lane Memorial Park. Memorial services will follow at 11 a.m., Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 140 E 56th St, Tacoma.
