Mildred M. Gehring, age 90 of Batesville, died Wednesday, April 25, 2018 at Ridgewood Health Center in Lawrenceburg. Born August 20, 1927 in Batesville, she is the daughter of Helen (Nee: Whitkemper) and Edward Bruns. She married Myron Gehring September 15, 1951 at St. Louis Church. Millie was an assistant to the Batesville Clerk Treasurer for 12 years and an Administrative Assistant 11 years for the Batesville School Corporation.
For Millie, life revolved around her family and her faith. With she and Myron both coming from large families, there were always reunions to attend, visits to make and visitors to entertain. Very devout, she generously donated her time and talents at church for the picnics as well as serving on the Bereavement Committee and the Collection Committee verifying the weekend collections. A member of the Daughters of Isabella, her family also indicated mom was a good cook and an excellent baker whose chocolate cake and pies will surely be missed. She and Myron belonged to a coffee klatch of close friends that also went to dinner, played cards and attended dances together.
She is survived by her husband Myron; sons and daughter-in-laws Jon and Camilla Gehring of Columbus, Indiana, Jay and Sherry Gehring of Frisco, Texas; sister Jean Simmermeyer of Greensburg and grandchildren Dominic of College Station, Texas, William of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Jody of Ft. Worth Texas and Katy of Houston, Texas. In addition to her parents, she is also preceded in death by sisters Genevieve Bruns, Dolores Kellerman and brothers Edward (Doc), Marlyn and Lester Bruns.
Visitation is Saturday, April 28th, from 9 – 10 a.m. at the Weigel Funeral Home. Funeral services follow at 10:30 a.m. at St. Louis Church with Rev. Stan Pondo officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family requests memorials to the Daughters of Isabella.
