Mildred was born July 11, 1929 in Muenster, to the late William Fleitmann and Magdalena Block Fleitmann. Her family moved to Lindsay, when she was a young child where she attended school and graduated from Lindsay High School.
She and Raymond Lindemann were married Nov. 16, 1954 in Lindsay. He preceded her in death on Oct. 5, 2007.
Mildred was a homemaker throughout her life. She also worked side by side with her husband, Raymond, at Ray’s Garage and Catholic Life Insurance Company.
Mildred truly had a “Servant’s Heart”.” She was an active member of St. Mary’s and St. Boniface Catholic Churches where she served as Eucharistic Minister. She also was a member of the Mother’s Society and the Catholic Daughters of the America where she served in various leadership roles.
Mildred was an avid bowler into her 90’s and was often highlighted in the Sports pages for her 600 High Series games and high bowling scores. She loved playing cards and dominoes at the Windthorst Senior Citizens Center. Mildred taught all of her grandchildren to play canasta and countless hours were spent around her kitchen table with card players ranging from 6 years old to her 90 years. She also taught her daughters and sons-in-law to play Sheephead and they continue that tradition. Mildred enjoyed traveling with her husband and continued to travel with her family after his death. She was an excellent cook and was known for her apple pie that was baked in a paper bag.
