Mildred Weiner

Mildred waited until the day after her 99th birthday party to pass away. We wish she had had a chance to enjoy her favorite spumoni ice cream and ice cream cake she always requested. Although unresponsive in her final days, several close relatives had a chance to spend a few moments with Mildred and express their love. As she wished, with the incredible help of her devoted caregivers and the Kaiser Palliative Care and hospice teams, she got to stay in the house that her husband built in 1955 with the incredible views of San Francisco.

Mildred was born in Children’s Hospital. She was witty, generous, caring, and a devoted mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and aunt. She lost her husband, Philip, 20 years ago. Mildred and her sister, Lillian, went to a Jewish Community Center ballroom dance class when

Mildred was 18 and met Philip and Sam Weiner, two brothers. From the time they were married, both sets of brothers and sisters always lived next door to each other. When war was declared Mildred and Philip got married. Daughter, Marsha, was born before Philip joined the Army

Air Corp and was sent to Okinawa to built landing strips for American aircraft. Daughter Linda was born after the war.

Mildred loved to play badminton, volleyball and swim at the SF Jewish Community Center. She was on the City College of San Francisco tennis team and went to the Golden Gate park tennis courts on weekends to play pick-up games.

Mildred worked alongside her husband at the motel he built in downtown San Francisco. She alternated with her sister on the day shifts. She helped her husband in his Peerless Institute home study course business for contractors preparing to take licensing exams in construction.

Mildred and Philip rented a tent cabin in Yosemite each year and floated down the river in inner tubes. In the evening they watched the fire-falls come down from Half Dome.

Mildred hung in there bravely until the end. She used to say, “I think I did pretty good to make it this far.” We all agree!

Mildred leaves behind daughters Linda O’Mea, Marsha Mayer (Bob), grandchildren Curtis Raff (Stacey), Carter Raff, Kevin Mayer, Ryan O’Mea (Aida), Melanie Smith (Ryan); great-grandchildren Riley Raff, Reagan Raff, Aidan O’Mea, Helena O’Mea and many beloved nephews and nieces.

Mildred’s service and burial took place at Salem in Colma.
