Daughter of the late Guy D. and Dora Augusta Watts Corbett, she was born in Lake Park on November 23, 1918. Mildred barely survived after being born prematurely weighing only 2 � pounds. But the Lord had a plan for Mildred�s life as her daddy wrapped her in an old woolen sweater and rocked her by the fire while she grew. She married Ralph C.

Mildred worked at the Lake Park Bank for a number of years before beginning a 21 year career with First State Bank in Valdosta.

She was a member of Lake Park United Methodist Church where she was active in the Pathfinders Group, the Gibraltar Sunday School Class and United Methodist Women. Mrs. McLane was also a lifelong member of Lake Park Christian Church and a charter member of the Lake Park Historical Society. She loved her Lord, her family and she expressed great love and respect for all she met.
