Millie spent her entire adult life in Blandinsville, working hand in hand with Ed on their farm. Together, they built a life rooted in family and farming. She cherished her family and loved gathering them around her table for countless holiday celebrations over the years. Millie was a member of the First Christian Church in Blandinsville for over 60 years, where she taught Sunday School and participated in various church functions.
Adventurous and full of life, Millie enjoyed off-road trips to Colorado and Moab, Utah, with Ed, her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. In her later years, she and Ed took joy in the simple pleasures of sitting on their porch, watching the world from their front window, and taking drives to see the happenings on the farm.
Mildred's legacy of love, dedication, and family will forever be remembered by those who knew her.
