Mildred was born the daughter of Fred and May (Crosier) Stice. Mildred grew up in Tama and received her education there. After marriage to Bernard "Red" Heiring in 1932 the couple resided in Marshalltown.
Mrs. Heiring worked in retailing in Marshalltown for 50 years, but it was her passion for making and collecting dolls that brought her to national attention.
In the 1940's she collaborated with her father, Fred Stice of Montour, in creating carved and costumed figures from the turn of the Century. Their collection grew to emcompass 52 dioramas called "The Good Old Days" depicting rural and small town life. It was housed in The Doll Museum located first in Montour and later in LeGrand. It is now on display at the Iowa Historical Society Museum in Des Moines, IA. A founder of the Kate Shelly Doll Club of Iowa and a charter member of its Central Iowa Chapter, Mrs. Heiring served frequently as judge at national doll conventions.
She is survived by her son, George (Donna) Heiring of Eatonton, GA; three grandchildren. Paul (Jessie) Heiring, Steve (Susan)
