her yard and flower gardens, playing cards, especially "500", quilting, knitting
and crocheting.

hole-in-one on Hole No. 1!
Millie was a very upbeat, hard-working and energetic woman who immensely enjoyed
the music of Lawrence Welk and staying in close contact with her children and
their families. She treasured the occasions of welcoming had hosting family and
friends into her home, especially during the holidays.

life.
