I was so sorry to hear about Millie’s passing. I worked with her at Motor Fuels, and just recently visited her at Big Sky Nursing Home. She was in good spirits, and I am so happy that we had a very pleasant visit. I know that she is in a much better place, and that she is with God and is well and whole again. Rest in Peace, Millie. You are now home.

I am so sorry about Millie. She was a sorority sister, so many years ago. She always did have that wonderful smile as on this picture. A beautiful gal inside and out. Rest in Peace Millie. You will be missed.

Millie’s photo shows what a caring and kind person she was. She was so dedicated these
last years to caring for her Mother. We have been dear Christian freinds for many, many
years. Millie was curious about life and took adventures. She was always willing to help other in their projects. God’s comfort to Bobbie and Coralea, We were sorry not to visit with you at the celebration service. The family legacy of God’s work proceeds on.

So sorry to hear of Millie’s passing — she was such a nice lady to visit with, and just plain fun to be around! Millie’s family and the Baxter family go way, way back. Thoughts & prayers with you all.
also, sending condolences from my mom — Ruth Baxter

My deepest sympathy to the family. Millie and I “worked” together for many years in PWP. We shared rooms, traveled together, and stayed in each other’s homes (mine in Oregon). Millie was a caring adventurous lady and a joy to be around. She will be missed by many. May the love and prayers surrounding family and friends bring comfort and help lift the sorrow from their hearts.

I am proud to have served with Millie on the International Board of Directors and at the Zone level of Parents Without Partners about 25 years ago. She was always positive and was a pleasure to “work” with. Although I hadn’t seen Millie for many years, I do know that the world is a poorer place for her passing. Rest in peace in the arms of the Lord, Millie.
