Mudie, single by that time,
also fell in love.
“One of the girls I
worked with introduced
me to her father, and we got
together,” says Mudie. “She
always says she picked out
her own mom.”
She moved to Ione to
be closer to her soon-to-be
husband, Allan Basford.
The couple married, creat-
ing a combined family of
eight children. Mudie went

in the hospital. Among her
duties was taking vitals,
caring for patients, and
dealing with the patients’
daily activities.
“When they closed the
nursing home, I worked
nights in the hospital with
the nurse there. When they
put in the long-term care
facility I finished out my
time there,” she recalls.
In fact, Mudie officially
retired about two years ago,
but has stayed on, being on
call or filling in occasion-
ally as needed. All in all,
she has worked nearly 40
years in health care, with
almost half that time spent
at Pioneer Memorial. Now,
though, she says it’s time to
let it go.
“I miss the girls and I
miss the patients, but it was
time to leave,” says Mudie.
“I miss the work too. I en-
joyed my job.”
However, now in retire-
ment, she says, “I’m not
bored. People ask me if
I’m bored, and I always tell
them I have plenty to do.”
Mudie says she has a
list of things she’s looking
forward to in retirement.
“I’m going to take it
easy and enjoy my friends.
I like gardening, so I’m go-
ing to garden. I do Stampin’
Up with friends, making my
own cards.”
Of course, at the top
of her list are those eight
children, along with 27
grandchildren and 19 great-
grandchildren (with the 20 th
expected in March). Mudie
says she plans to visit all
of them, a highlight of her
free time.
“All the children call
me Grandma. I think I’m
so very, very blessed to be
called Mom and Grandma,”
she says.
