Mildred Tatom (Bolivar)'s Obituary
Mildred Tatom of Bolivar died peacefully on September 15, 2020, at age 100. She was preceded in death by her husband of more than 60 years, Rev. Bill Tatom. She leaves a daughter and son-in-law, Nancy and Jack Ammerman, of Boston, Massachusetts, and a granddaughter, Abigail Ammerman, of Bethesda, Maryland. Born in Benton County, Missouri, to Harlo and Cora McGranahan, she moved with her parents to Bolivar in the 1930s. She graduated from Bolivar High School and Southwest Baptist College before continuing her education at Southwest Missouri State Teachers College. Her primary vocation, however, was as a pastor’s wife. She and Bill served churches in Missouri, Arizona, California, and Arkansas, but retired to Bolivar. Even in her final years as a resident of the Citizens Memorial Healthcare Facility, she continued to be a friend and encourager to many. A memorial service will be held at First Baptist Church at 11:00 A.M. on Friday, September 18, with burial at Greenwood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to First Baptist Church.
