Obituary of Millie Jo Monceret

Many people say there is nothing like a mother's love, and they are right. Our mother was a wonderful Christian person who showed love to everyone she came in contact with. Her favorites were the underprivileged and students eager to learn. She was a very hard worker, yet she took time for her family to insure that we were all strong and independent, just as she was. Our Mom, Millie Jo Monceret died August 16, 2013. It was a sad day. She was privileged to be a member of the Green Hill United Methodist Church, where she was famous for her wonderful coconut cakes and leading adult Sunday School. Millie was a Life-time member of the Eastern Star. In 1965, she attended Florence State College and gained a bachelor degree in Elementary Education and went on to teach at Rogers School for 22 years before retiring. Oh how she loved teaching her students. During her teaching years, she added a master's degree and an EDS from UNA.
