As a lifelong resident of Plainfield, I recall Mrs. McMillin serving as a substitute teacher many times over the years. She was always a very kind and soft-spoken individual. She was one of the substitutes you were just glad to see when she walked into the room. More like a Mom figure than a teacher, and one all the students seemed to respect. My condolences to her family. RIP Mrs. McMillin.
