Our condolences to all members of Millie’s family. I enjoyed many years of 4-H with Millie. I especially remember a Christmas when I found out I had to make the pudding sauce. I called Millie and she told me what to do that Sunday before Christmas. Every year I make the “Millie Sauce”. Memories live on.

How very sad to learn of Millie leaving us. She will live on though as she left us a legacy of recipes in the “Green Cookbook”. Page #8 Tea Biscuits just above my Mom’s recipe; to note one of many. Two old neighbours; still contributing to feeding the next generation with their beloved recipes. Now that is a legacy. Many sincere condolences to Barb, Nancy, & John and families.

I met Millie through Chelt United Church back in the 1990’s. She was a welcome face each week. I recall her smile/giggle. She had a special “glint” in her eye – made you wonder what fun thing she was planning. I never tried her baking but I have enjoyed Nancy’s and I know Lindsay have the “gift”. Rest in peace Millie.
Judy and Lou Bell
Upon moving to Cheltenham in the 1970’s, Millie and Bill were among the first neighbours we met.
Judy worked with Millie for many years as a 4-H leader and enjoyed every meeting. She still makes her Christmas pudding recipe every year.
Our deepest condolences,
Judy and Lou Bell
