Born on September 2, 1937, in Dyersburg, TN, Millie was a beloved resident of Lenox, TN. Millie dedicated her career to working at Sylvania before moving on to Wal-Mart, where she served as a department manager of the fabric department until her retirement. Her commitment to her work was matched by her devotion to her faith and community. As a member of Lenox Baptist Church for over 40 years, she contributed significantly by serving on the kitchen committee, teaching Sunday School, and supporting her husband in his role as a Deacon. Millie had a passion for sewing and cooking, and she cherished the time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren. She is predeceased by her mother, Margaret Shipley, and leaves behind a legacy of love and dedication to her family and community.
