Milly loved to travel. Not one to be held back, she and Roger made one final trip after she was diagnosed with cancer to see the remaining states that they had not yet visited.  Some of her favorite trips were to Laughlin, NV. She enjoyed stops in Memphis, TN along the way. Milly always really enjoyed her sisters’ weekend in Maine every year. When not on the road, Milly liked to read and work in her flower bed.

Joslin of North Concord; her mother: Arlene McGennis of St. Johnsbury, Vt; a daughter: Jill Joslin Bell of Miles Pond, Vt; four sisters: Jean Vaughn and Gloria Hall of Arizona, Linda Daley and husband, Dwayne, of Maine, and Penny Densmore of Vermont; and many nieces and nephews.
