Mildred F. Medernach, 94 of Bethlehem passed away on Monday, June 2, 2025, at Muhlenberg Hospital. Born in Lehighton, she was the daughter of the late John P. and Mildred F. (Kuhns) Medernach. She was a member of the Immaculate Conception Church in Allentown and served as an Extraordinary Minister for years.

She had a deep intellectual curiosity and loved history, especially Russian history. She loved learning and sharing her knowledge with others, especially with her nieces and nephews.
