It was my great pleasure to know Millie. Her quiet voice and tender attitude towards the world always shined through her spoken words. Such a gentle spirit will be missed by all who knew her. Millie had the gifts of warmth and grace, and her love for her family was ever in the forefront of her thoughts - bringing a ready smile to her face when she spoke of them.

Dear Wellman Family, I am so sorry to hear of Millie's passing. I grew up next door to Millie and will always remember her as a sweet and kind neighbor. Every Halloween, she set aside extra large bags of candy for my sister and I. She was such a wonderful neighbor and I'm so happy to have known her. I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you the best through this difficult time. Sincerest condolences, Amanda Moeser
