Millie was active in St. Patrick’s Church. She was President of the Altar & Rosary Society in 1975 when they published a cookbook. Millie also sang in the church choir, the St. Patrick’s Day choir and devoted an hour each week in their adoration chapel from when it started to 2016. Most recently she was a parishioner at St. Joseph Catholic Church.
Millie had many jobs and talents, eventually retiring from Hy-Vee. She enjoyed an active life with Al that included dancing, playing cards and bingo, watching the Chicago Cubs, Iowa Hawkeye sports and vacations in the Ozarks. She & Al were a perfect team for over 58 years!
She was blessed with 3 children; Susan (Jim Ford), Michael (Megan Strong) and Mary (Dick McDonnell). She had 4 grandchildren; Brianna (Mike Youngman) Sean Barry (Corina) Christopher Barry and Shelby Lombard. Two she loved as her own grandchildren are Kodie & Shaye Strong.
