Wilbert was her lifelong love, sweetheart and partner until he sadly went to be with the Lord on June 23, 2014, after 65 years of marriage.

Lois enjoyed traveling with her husband and friends throughout the world and annually enjoyed spending time with Wilbert, family and friends at a resort in Kissimmee, FL, where they had vacationed since 2002. She took great pride and delight in sewing baby quilts for all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mrs. Milleville was an excellent cook and baker.
