Shirley was a doer and a fixer and always had a kindred spirit. According to Shirley all would be well if she applied herself to make it so.

Frame "Dutch" of their home in Weatherford, Oklahoma; her parents, Earl and Mary Oard of Colby, Kansas; one son, Andy Frame of Davis, California; two step-sons, Harlan Dale Frame III and wife, Melinda, of Dewitt, Michigan and Stephen "Bear" Hewitt Frame of Durham, North Carolina; two brothers, Dale Oard and wife, Vickie, and children, Dan Oard and wife, Teri, and children, all of Colby, Kansas; and one sister, Lila Amos and husband, Bob, of Colby, Kansas, and many nieces and nephews that will fondly remember her as the favorite aunt who was always there for all of her family .

Wiebe and Alice (Friesen) Wiebe and passed from this life on February 1, 2008, to be with Jesus while living at the Alterra Sterling House in Weatherford, Oklahoma.

Wiebe and Elizabeth (Schellenberg) Wiebe and P.E. Friesen, and Katie (Hiebert) Friesen. Her grandfather Wiebe had come to America with his parents when he was two years old.

She then attended Southwest State Teaching College, which is now Southwestern Oklahoma State University, where she received a degree in Elementary Education. Mildred’s first job was in Hooker, Oklahoma, where there were seventeen shiny face 3rd graders who greeted a young exuberant teacher.

In 1973, she arrived to teach at Prague, Oklahoma and there is where she taught 2nd, 4th, and 5th grades for the next sixteen years.

After 31 years of teaching Mildred retired May 31, 1988. She then traveled to places such as Hawaii, New York City, Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C.
