My Aunt Midge played golf with Pop (her brother) and me and taught us how to miss the critters on the fairways. She found joy in so many people and pastimes... and she was always smiling.
She was always smiling.....

Millie was a vital part of Chapter EW, P.E.O., for a very long time and brought the joy of sisterhood to so many women. We all can aspire to her level by citing the Presidents of the United States in order and the states and capitols each day. Her memory and kindness were hallmarks. She will be missed by many.

Aunt Midge was full of life and spunk. I remember her many visits to Grandma Inez. As my Mom says, she will be organizing a family reunion in heaven. My hope is that you all recieve the comfort, love and hugs you may need at this time of greiving. Thank you all for being there for my family with Gandma Inez passing and know that we are all with you in your time of need. Aunt Midge will be missed and her fun caring words will be missed, but she will be in our hearts forever. We love you all.
She always brought the family reunion to town

The joy of life never left her voice or her spirit. She will be organizing a family reunion in heaven now. Perhaps a game of spite and malice or a new recipe for all to enjoy. She was the effervescence for all she came in contact with and life was dull when she was gone. Bless you Aunt Midgie - we loved you then - we love you now. Give Mom a big hug and kiss.
Your loving niece, Donna
