Her husband, Glenn D. McMillan, died in 1968.

She is survived by a son, Lawrence G. McMillan of Randolph, N.J.; a stepson, Richard A. McMillan of Annandale, Va.; a stepson, Arthur N. Ferrettie of Mishawaka; five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild; and by numerous nieces and nephews, some of whom live in the South Bend area.
