Millie & Bob were my next door neighbors for almost 30 years and I couldn't have asked to live next door to nicer people. Millie was always so friendly and full of life, I always enjoyed chatting with her hearing about all the latest neighborhood happenings as she always knew what was going on. She always kept an eye out for me when she knew I was away and let me know if anything was awry. Millie & Bob always kept their lawn neat as a pin without hardly a blade of grass out of place and I always appreciated that even though my own lawn always paled in comparison, and so far my new "neighbors" can't hold a candle to Millie's lawn either! I have missed talking to Millie and hearing her laugh since she moved away, what a nice lady she was! I pray her family will find comfort because I know that God will never forget a good person like Millie!

My memories of Aunt Millie is that she seemed unflappable. I have fond memories of visiting my cousins and she was always kind and pleasant. I have great memories of staying at the cottage and Aunt Millie would be washing clothes in an old -fashioned wash tub that had a crank-handle wringer. May you all enjoy sharing memories of an amazing woman.
