Mildred Gertrude Baize Cobb, daughter of the late Ernest Baize and Mildred Blackstock Baize, was born July 16, 1937 in Ruffin, North Carolina.

In subsequent years, she united with Rocky Ridge Missionary Baptist Church where she served diligently in various positions.
Mildred was joined in Holy Matrimony with the late Howard L. Cobb Sr. on April 19, 1958. This loving couple was blessed with children to complete the family circle according to God's plan. Mildred was a loving wife and a wonderful mother that believed in caring for her family and others. She always had an encouraging word, she was a true believer in John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." For many years, she enjoyed her work as a self-employed caterer.
She died Wednesday, May 13, 2015 at her residence. She was a beacon of light and had a sweet, sweet spirit. She is resting with the Lord.
