Aunt Millie you will be sadly miss. As us Oldhams kids, we loved coming down to your place & catch the turtles by the lake. You are a sister to our Mother (Helen)
We never really had the opportunity to know Millie well, but five years ago Karla & George brought Millie to our house to stay at Christmas time. Millie was so helpful, funny and just delightful company. We enjoyed the banter that George and Millie had. He called her "trouble" and she loved every minute of it. She was a dear, sweet lady who had spunk and heart.
Millie you will be greatly missed. I will never forget the wonderful times I had at your house when I would visit as a child during the Fourth of July.
Millie was an exceptional lady. I will cherish the time I spent with her. She had a great sense of humor and could really keep you on your toes. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
