Millie Florence Mildred's Obituary
Millie (Florence Mildred) KellamSeptember 8, 1923 Â- August 2, 2004 Mom left this earth to be with her Lord and savior Jesus Christ on August 2, 2004. What a send off she had! Children, Grand-Children, Great-grandchildren, and many other loved ones gathered to send her on her way. She went peacefully, and bravely Â- a fighter to the end. Mom was born in Kansas City, Kansas on September 8, 1923 to Henry Warner Rhodes and Bessie Clarke. She married her darlinÂ' Edderd (Edward P. Kellam) on January 23, 1945, and together they raised four children; David Warner Kellam (Donna), Andrea Rahal (Bob), Paula Flynn (Michael) and Christian (Al) Runsvold. Theirs was and still is, a family that laughs and sings together. In MomÂ's 80 years she overcame many challenges. She was a woman of strength and courage. She should have written a book Â- it would have been a doozie!Among those left behind to love and miss her are her 4 children; brother Howard Eugene Rhodes (Millie); grandchildren Jennifer, Stephanie, Adam, Teak, C.K., Amanda, Ryan, Kelly, Tyson, Scott, and Susie; and 11 great-grandchildren.The family thanks Dr. Steve Kramp and the loving staff at Manor Care, Gig Harbor, and Arcadia Unit.
