Mildred Howe Obituary

Sadly Mildred Celestine Howe 81 passed away in Easton Hospital, on May 9th, 2017, after a slow decline caused by a stroke some 24 years ago. Mildred was born in the Bronx, NY on October 27, 1935 to the late David Irwin Dempsey and Anna Lee Dempsey She attended Hunter College in New York and went on to become a therapist, helping countless people in life coping skills. Millie was the wife of 26 years to the late Richard Howe and a loving mother of 5. She expressed nothing but love, kindness, and strength. Her children Beverly (a successful Nurse), Jerry (incredible pastor, organist and singer), Janice (accomplished singer and song writer) Greg Howe (incredible guitarist) Al Howe (incredible singer and songwriter) and grandchildren, Naomi, Joseph, Niya, Jeremiah Alexander and Briana are her legacy and proof that Millie did her job here on earth very very well. So after a very positive and long life...Rest in Peace Millie. You earned it. We all loved you very much.

Dear Millie, I had no idea that u passed away! For some reason, I was sitting on my couch and u came to mind! I started tearing up, so hard to fathom u are now a angel in heaven with other angels! We had good times at Warren Outreach and bad times towards the end of my employment, was my doing, my fault! Why? I hope u forgave me! I missed Naomi, she was a joy living with Shawn and I! I always admired u, even from afar!

Love always!

How well I remember the love and light from Millie Howe at a time when I REALLY needed it. She gave Human Being a whole new definition.
She was TRULY BEAUTIFUL inside and out. If there were more people like Millie, The World would be a better place.
Condolences to all who are missing her today and all those who never had the privilege to know her.
I am wishing Peace and Comfort to her family and friends, as she would have wished. Susan R Kelsey
