Mildred Flynn

Schenectady- Mildred "Matil" DeLuke Flynn, 81, passed away after a long struggle with lung disease. She was surrounded by her loving family and the caring and compassionate staff at Kingsway Arms Nursing Home. Mildred was born in Schenectady on November 8, 1924 to the late Assunta and Louis DeLuke.
