Millie was born on March 22, 1930 near Walsh, Alberta. She moved to Medicine Hat with her family where she resided for 18 years. Leaving Medicine Hat she moved to Lethbridge where she resided until her passing. She was employed by Scott Fruit for 9 years and then moved to Automatic Electric, later to become Microtel where she worked for 23 years, retiring when they closed the plant. She maintained many friendships from her time there and called them her Microtel Family. Millie and Tom enjoyed numerous bus trips including Alaska, British Columbia and California.

She was always so happy to greet people and have a visit.
