Millie grew up in Baltimore, MD and moved all around the Mid-Atlantic after marrying Tom, who worked for many different railroads all his life. They settled in Amherst, NH for 12 years before moving to Kimberton, PA for 8 years. When Tom passed, Millie moved to Nashua, NH for the remainder of her life. With a flair for style and a zest for life, Millie enjoyed nothing more than being with her family. She loved jelly donuts and coffee, Polish food, soft serve ice cream and a good pu-pu platter. Millie is also known for her legendary and colorful jacket collection, which included fan favorites such as Blue Safari and Caribbean Queen. A sports fan, Millie loved watching the Red Sox and the Patriots and was especially fond of her favorite soap opera, The Bold and The Beautiful. Millie was a woman of great faith and prayed the rosary daily. She was a 4’10” force of nature who was loved and adored by everyone she knew and even those who only heard stories about her. Above all, Millie was the best wife, mother, grandmother and friend anyone could ask for. She gave the best hugs and her favorite words were “I love you.” We may have lost angel here on earth, but heaven gained a saint.
