Millie loved to share traditional Slovak foods for holidays and has passed on her pirohy and halupki recipes to her grandchildren. She was a long-time volunteer with the Right to Life organization. Millie was a gifted seamstress who created lovely outfits for her daughter as well as their dolls. Most of all, she spent joyful hours with her family playing scrabble and “31”, as well as poker with “the guys” at Danbury Assisted Living.
