They later moved to Miles City, MT and didn’t return to Fort Collins until some years later. Millie later re-united with her childhood friend Alvin L. Jekel in Ft.

She and Alvin were married in November of 1987 and remained together until his passing in 2014. She returned to school at Larimer County Vocational Tech. College, earning her Practical Nursing degree, in 1986. She worked as a nurse for the VA Hospital System in Sheridan, WY, Walla Walla, WA and Miles City, MT until her retirement. They made Miles City their home for several years before moving to Seattle, WA to be closer to daughter Robin, granddaughter Mandee and family. After her retirement, she wrote and published poetry, as well as children’s stories, and was an active member in each community she was a part of. She was a life member of the American Legion, VFW, and National CattleWomen’s Association. She was an advocate for Veterans and dedicated her time to many projects and other organizations. Millie returned to Wellington, CO. in her last years where she met Robert “Bob” Brown. They enjoyed traveling together, with trips to Branson, Missouri and Nashville, Tennessee and spending time with each other and family. She also became an active member of the Wellington Senior Center and the Wellington Zion Lutheran Church. Mildred peacefully passed July 14, 2018 surrounded by her family. She is survived by her three daughters, Connie, Robin, and Elizabeth, their families, and Jackie’s surviving daughter and family.
