Millie was born in Ada, Oklahoma, on July 15, 1934 and was one of 8 chldren. She made Bakersfield her home for the past 49 years.

Family and church were everything to Millie. Her love of the Lord was demonstrated constantly in her devotion and generosity to her children, grandchildren and friends.

Her favorite pastimes were camping with her grandchildren, playing cards and canasta with friends, and her monthly family dinners with her sisters and brothers.
