Millie Beatrice Newhouse was born in Fort Worth, Texas on May 17, 1965, to the proud parentage of Lucious Newhouse, Jr. and Mildred Smith Newhouse. She was the only daughter and was definitely a “Daddy’s girl.
Millie was a proud 1983 graduate of Trimble Technical High School in Fort Worth, TX. She went on to be employed by The Texas Workforce Commission for 27 years as a Claim Examiner.
She accepted Christ as a child at Paradise Missionary Baptist Church. She was a faithful member; serving as Armor Bearer, Sunday School Secretary, Usher, Choir Member and Security Staff.
Millie was a loving and devoted mother. She lived life saying it was always about “Me and My Girls”! Millie gave birth to her firstborn, Myochia Richard, in 1986. Millie later married Robert Lawton and this union was blessed with Meaghan Lawton in 1994. This mother daughter bond was strong because of the love of God and the family. Their bond remains unbreakable even in death because they know that this is not how the story ends.
Millie was an outgoing person. She and her “ride or die” (Mom) Mildred would travel, do a day/night run to the casino on a moment’s notice, shop or just hang out. She loved life. She was whole heartedly her brothers’ keeper, always providing them with love and support. Millie loved dancing, karaoke, and family gatherings.
Early Sunday Morning, on November 27, 2022, Millie answered the Lord’s call to be released from the joys & trials of this world and receive the rest & reward that is promised to all that love Him. Upon her arrival she was greeted by her father, Lucious Newhouse, Jr.; Aunt, Ida White; Nephew, Daniel Newhouse; & Best Friend, Robyn Franklin.
