Grandma Millie would want everyone to know she is in heaven fully restored. She shared her love of Jesus with everyone she met and if I know Grandma that is the legacy she would want spread.
She was so sweet and loving and im glad I got to know her. We loved spending time at her house and having some great food with her. We will miss you Millie ❤️🙏
I am saddened by Millie’s passing Knew her so long ago Wish I spent more time with her she truly was the kindest woman
Millie and Danny were such great people! You always felt welcome in their home and they made you feel special.
So many great memories of Millie. I remember how excited we were when she would come to OH and bring our NY cousins. She always brought treats and sweet gifts. She and Danny loved going to antique shops, flea markets and thrift stores. She, Joyce and Mom (Charlene) would take us to pick strawberries when we were little too. We collected buttons for her. She was loving, funny and thoughtful. Always laughing and full of joy. We always looked forward to visits. I enjoyed many phone calls with her. She will certainly be missed by so many. RIP Millie until we meet in heaven.
Vikki has been my best friend since 8th grade. I spent many days and nights at Millies and Dans house. They always made sure we had something to eat! Then we would go play in the yard. Bobby and Steven were always around. Gymnastics was my life. Vikki was the superstar. Millie was always so proud of her! She shared her passion with the grandchildren as well. She never pushed us! She just loved it. Always said you can quit anytime. God was her spirit and strength. She loved life. Even that stupid dancing fish in the hallway. She will be loved forever and ever. Thanks for all the love and support you gave us all! God Bless you the family for having such a Mom, Grandmother, Relative!
Grandma your love has guided me into the women I am today. I’m so thankful for your love and the many wonderful years together. Your love for Jesus was profound, and touched us all. Nothing prepares you for saying goodbye. I hope you know how much you mean to me and so many that knew you. May we all find comfort with our family in the days ahead knowing Jesus has welcomed you home with his loving arms.
My heart goes out to your family. Millie was a wonderful person.
Sorry to hear about your mother was a great family RIP
Absolutely loved you Millie! You will be greatly missed as one of the nicest, kindest people i’ve ever known.
Millie and Danny were always so kind and welcoming whenever I was at their home with Vikki. I’m with Mark Aluvt- they made me feel special.
Millie was always the preferred destination for Christmas and other holidays. She was the matriarch holding together the entire family. Her sons would visit in the middle of the day just for a snack. Distant branches would always come to NY for Christmas. She always somehow magically bought the most presents of anyone, simultaneously for all her grandchildren. Her home/basement was the cultural hearth for countless people. Most of our warmest memories were made in her nest. Most people leave behind only the children they raised as their living legacy, but Millies legacy includes countless more.
Beautiful service for Millie from the Gilhart family from Erie Drive Happy she is in heaven Her grandchildren so special Sorry I couldn’t join them at Flaherty’s. Glad I at least talked to Steven
I knew Millie many years ago when we worked at Crest Manor Nursing Home together. Every shift with her was a joy. She always shared her faith and made us laugh every day. I am very blessed to have known her
