And several nieces and nephews.
Millie was a homemaker with a keen interest in baking. She maintained her own unique system of scoring deserts. She played both guitar and piano. Throughout the years she maintained an interest in music, especially the ear of Big Band and the genres of jazz and Boogie Woogie, the latter of which she never tired.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ernest and Tamar; three brothers: Weldon (Dony), Gaylon (Skeet), Lowell (Morse) and two sisters: Monell and Melva.
