Mildred Giordano Obituary
Mildred E. "Millie" Giordano, Retired Secretary for Florida State University, loving wife, Mom and wonderful cook, died on Monday, November 24, 2014. Born, Mildred E. Lovejoy on December 19, 1926, in Detroit Michigan, married her late husband and only love, Dr. Enrico A. Giordano. Millie is survived by her three children Jan Giordano (Chris) of Rougemont, N.C., Cathy Giordano Rackley (Andy) of Tallahassee, FL. and Jeff Giordano of Strawberry Plains, TN., as well as four grandchildren, Chris Eason of Weeki Wachee, FL., Jessie Merckling of Springfield, MO., Anthony Giordano of Brooksville, FL. and Jacob Giordano of Rougemont, N.C.
Millie loved cooking and gathering with family and friends. Born of Hungarian and Scotch/Welch decent, some of her family's favorite meals were chicken paprikosh, stuffed cabbage and stuffed peppers. Having married a first generation Italian-American, she mastered red sauce with braciola, sausage, pork chops and/or meatballs, homemade pasta, white pizza and Italian Wedding soup, also favorites.
Millie had many cherished family members and friends throughout her life, her bright green eyes, beautiful smile and infectious laugh brought comfort and joy to those that endeared her.
Her family was by far her greatest and most treasured accomplishment.

To the family,
Sorry to hear about the loss of Millie
Giordano. I worked with Mille at Florida State University Counseling Center and she was a beautiful and lovely person. Her personality and style was unique and her love for family was her greatest joy. I will certainly miss her dearly but in my spirit I know she is still with us with her smile and zest for life.
Sandra Barnhart & family.
