Mildred Alice Dell was called to be with her Lord on April 14, 2013, in Careywood. Millie was born Feb. 4, 1917, in Minnesota to Amelia and Reverend Theodore Gutknetcht.

She had seven brothers and sisters. One child died shortly after birth and was buried at sea on the way to India, where Millie attended grade school and her Lutheran Missionary father's church. After returning to the U.S., she attended What Cheer High School in Iowa. After her marriage she lived in Japan and then returned to live and work in Washington, D.C., Texas and California.

She will forever be missed by family and friends.
