She was a longtime member of the Polish National Catholic Church in Union City, Connecticut.

Survivors include her husband, Ken Millette, of Fort Pierce who cared and loved her for years through the very good times and the very worst of times with her MS like no man could have; she had two sons, Kenny Millette, of Fort Pierce, and Gary Millette, of Connecticut; one daughter, Tami Beaulieu; three grandchildren, Amanda Millette, David Beaulieu, & Ame Beaulieu; and her brother, Ed Zemeir, who gave her one of her best memories of her 15th birthday.

She loved all three of her grandchildren dearly; Amanda, David & Ame and so loved every minute with them and the memories they gave her & those 3 Little Angels gave her the strength to carry on with her daily fight.
