Brookdale Assisted Living in Twin Falls, ID.

Mom was born on July 31, 1924 in Buffalo County NE to Ludvick and Agnes Gross. She was the fourth of eight children. Mom celebrated a very happy 93rd birthday this last July 31st.

Mom married Melvin D. Jonas on April 10, 1944in Burwell, NE. They resided in Burwell until 1956 when they moved to Twin Falls, ID. In 1970 they moved to Jerome, ID and operated their farm until their retirement in 1984. They then moved into town.

Mom had worked for Bud’s Duds, Van’s Department Store and Intermountain Gas Co. for many years. She was active in the Appleton Grange for 40 plus years, St. Jerome Catholic Church, and the Canyon Side Club. She enjoyed league bowling for many years and going to tournaments with her team mates. They sure had a good time. Mom liked camping and fishing with Dad, family and friends. Mom and Dad liked to dance and us girls loved watching our parents (cut a rug). Above all, it was her family that meant everything to Mom.

Mom wore many hats–daughter, sister, friend, wife, mother, grandma and her favorite great grandma (gg for short).

Millie was preceded in death by her parents; infant daughter, Sharon; husband, Mel; siblings, Marie Sok, Louise Rassette and LaVern Gross.

Millie is survived by her daughters Karen Basom(Bill); Kathy(Katie Jo)Roy(Rick);
