She always attended the Prospect Senior Centers monthly breakfasts, and their holiday parties. Millie enjoyed poetry and was known for writing poems for marriages, birthdays and other occasions. She loved doing arts and crafts and traveling was much a part of her life as her late husband, John served in the Navy for 23 years. Millie was not a lady to sit around ~ she liked to get out, take bus trips and attend concerts. Being a nature lover, it was not surprising she was a member of the Naturalist Club.
