They were raised in a small house on Timbertree Branch in Hiltons, VA. The family was poor in material posessions but so very rich in LOVE. She was an avid animal lover and had many furbabies who were treated as children. Millie was Milmom to a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and great-great-nieces. She was a banker for many years until her retirement due to health reasons.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Scott and Bella Lemire Carter; her brothers, Dan Carter and Rick Hensley; her nephew, Jason Carter; and beloved brother-in-law, George Jr. Hutchins.
