Biography: Mildred Quinn, age 91, of Little Rock, arrived home with God on Monday, April 7, 2025.

Mildred was born in Texarkana, Arkansas and attended Texarkana High School graduating in 1951.  After graduation she was the first in her family to attend college, graduating from Hendrix in 1955.  While in college, she met her husband, Luke W. Quinn.  They were married after college, living in San Diego, CA while he was a Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Navy.  After completing his service in the Navy, they moved to Little Rock where he began his career in Commercial Real Estate, raised their family and were active in their community. 

Mildred was a member of the Arkansas Arts Center Fine Arts Club, where she served as President, was Co-Chairperson of Tabriz, served on the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Board, as well as President of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Auxiliary.
After years of community service, she pursued business becoming a Director for KidCo, Inc. and later acquiring the KidCo Child Care Center at the Arkansas School for the Deaf, where she ran her business for 25 years and caring for her incredible staff and hundreds of preschool age children.

When her children were in school, she was actively involved in PTA, volunteering at Williams Elementary, Hall High School, Girl Scouts and not to mention, attending every sporting event her children chose to play.  While raising her family, her most cherished times were spent with her children and their friends, hosting countless Tri Delta members for Razorback weekends and time spent at Lake Ouachita.

Mimi always had time for her grandchildren, playing, gardening and making costumes for special occasions.  She was beloved.

Mildred enjoyed gardening, cooking and playing bridge. Floral arrangements were one of her favorite past times along with her lifelong joy of collecting fine antiques. We will miss her greatly and remember her “can I give you a hug” upon every visit.
