Mrs. Mills was an owner operator of Mills Grocery in Pocahontas TN, and had worked in previous years at Brown Shoe, ITT, and Regency Sports Wear. She was a member of the Oak Grove Independent Methodist Church in Pocahontas, Tennessee.

As a young child she accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior and her life had always epitomized the scripture. "I was glad when they said unto me; let us go to the house of the Lord." She has always been very involved in her church. She attended Pocahontas First Baptist for many years and has such fond, treasured memories of the people she served with during her time as a member. When she left Pocahontas and moved her membership to Oak Grove Independent Methodist Church she fell in love with her new church family and they did her as well. When she fell sick, she regretted nothing more than being unable to attend services. Some of her favorite pastimes were working, spending time outdoors, watching Nathan play sports, and most of all singing at church. Everyone said she had a beautiful alto voice.
