Milly Buckner, 80, of Candler, NC, made her heavenly ascent on Monday, September 29, 2025.

Milly was born April 22, 1945 to her late parents, Noah and Della Marlor Buckner. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Danny and Jerry Buckner.

Milly loved flowers. She was very kind and sweet and never hurt anyone. She will be missed terribly.

Left to cherish her memory are her brothers, Charles E. Buckner (Betty), Johnny L. Buckner, and Don A. Buckner, several nieces, nephews, cousins, and family. Also, all the staff at Pisgah Manor who had become her extended family, loving her as one of their own and taking wonderful care of her over the years.

The family will hold a private graveside service.

Condolences can be made to the family online at www.MadisonFH.com.
