At 40, Mil returned to full-time work as a high school guidance counselor for the next 20 years at Rich Central High School in Olympia Fields, IL, and served a six year term on the Park Forest Village Library Board. In 1985, she moved to Florida with her husband, Hal, who had worked for CBS News for 40 years. Mil was active in Sarasota in the National Council of Jewish Women, a Court Observer for Gender Equity and the Law, and an active Tidewell Hospice speakers' bureau member. Mil was listed in one of the first Who's Who among Women and later in Who's Who in the Midwest.

Her husband of 50 years, Hal, precedes her in death. She is survived by her son, Brian (Patty); and daughter, Lynn (Jim).
