Mildred was born on the Cisar family farm in rural Chickasaw County, IA, near Protivin, the daughter of Albert and Elizabeth (Hovorka) Cisar. She attended rural country school.
In her younger years, she married Henry Anderson and to this union a daughter was born. The couple later divorced. On June 29, 1979, at Assumption Parish, Little Turkey, she married Francis ‘Frank’ John Dostal. She enjoyed helping ‘Frank’ on the farm and with his trucking business. Francis John Dostal, died February 14, 1996.
Mildred liked to play cards, mainly euchre, and she did not like to lose. She also had a love of her garden and enjoyed canning. Will Jo, her grandson, said she made the best Open Crock Sour Dill pickles he had ever tasted and her Baby Dills were one inch long and picture perfect in the jar. She especially loved family gatherings and time spent with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We treasure all these memories. God grant her peace.
Survivors include one daughter, Lana (William) Zibert of Austin, MN; four grandchildren, Amy (Brad) Friedrichs of Eagle Lake, MN, Anne (Jason) Smith of Winona, MN, William A. (Angela) Zibert of Mankato, MN and Lisa Zibert of Winona, MN; seven great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; and a sister, Irene Dvorak.

Lana and family: My Mom is Agatha Busta and I have many wonderful memories of your mother as neighbors across the field to the south. She was always a happy person with a smile on her face and such a hard worker. She will be sadly missed by all of us. My deepest sympathies to you.
Lana I remember you from long long ago when your mother lived at Protivin and was helping Dorothy Zeman. I was living with my mother Alma Chyle at Protivin. You were, perhaps 3-4? My children were about the same age. I live in Waterloo, Iowa now for over 50 years and do not get around as I use to so won’t be at funeral. There is so much I’d like to share with you. I spent many years at St. Mary’s Rochester and my classmates and dear friends were Dolores & Myron Ricks. they’ve both passed since, but Myron often talked of working with you. He was always SO impressed by your professionalism and character. Sincere sympathy, Olga Chyle Jung
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers and sympathy go out to the family.
To Lana and family, My sympathy to you and your family on the passing of your mother and Grandmother. May she rest in peace.
