Mission Grove Baptist Church. Her life was marked by her unwavering faith, 
generous spirit, and commitment to her church and family. She found great joy in 
gardening, cooking, sewing, and spending time with her loved ones. Millie was 
known for her warm heart and welcoming nature, she never met a stranger and 
brought light and kindness into every room she entered.
