Millie lived and grew up in Luxembourg with her parents as well as her four sisters and three brothers.  They lived through and survived the horrors of World War II.

Millie met her husband Leonard Bowerman, in 1956 in Luxembourg where he was stationed.  They were married there before returning to the United States.  She raised six children.  In 1962, she received her citizenship which she was very proud of.  Millie was fluent in five languages and was very passionate about animals.

Millie's fondest memories were in Arizona where she had become a horse ranch manager and was an active member of the community.  She was an active member of the Fairview Nazarene Church as well as a volunteer at the Serving Christ Outreach.

Miss Millie never met a stranger!  She has several friends and many family members who will miss her tremendously!  She touched many hearts in Fairview.  She may be gone but never forgotten.
