The couple shared nearly 60 years together before Fred’s death in 2006.  Millie enjoyed puzzles and being with family, especially her grand and great- grand babies.

Survivors include her two sons: Gary and wife, Sharon, of Danville, VT, and Richard and wife, Dawn, of St. Johnsbury; seven grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and many other family and friends including Joan Paro and Heather Gonyaw who visited Millie frequently and helped to keep up her spirits during the pandemic lock down.
