She was born on November 8, 1926 in Charkow, Ukraine to Konstantin and Vera Gurin.
Milly married Franklin J. Barry in 1952 while living in Germany. They later moved to Jamestown, Indiana. They lived in many different communities over the years, as Franklin served a distinguished career retiring after 26 years as a Sergeant Major from the United States Army. Their many tours of duty allowed the Barry family to live in a number of places around the world including Iran and Taiwan, overseas, and Indiana, Colorado, California, and Georgia in the United States.
Following Franklin’s retirement from the military in 1969, Milly worked as an administrative assistant at the law firm of Hansell, Post, Brandon & Dorsey in Atlanta, GA. After retiring from the law firm, Milly was actively engaged in a number of charitable causes in the Marietta, GA area. These charitable groups included the Older Adult Center (Mt. Bethel Methodist Church); Peddle Pusher’s (Johnson Ferry Church) and Small Group Crochet (Johnson Ferry Church).
Milly became an active member of the Johnson Ferry Church participating with the Life After Fifty (LAF) group where she met many of her dearest friends. She attended bible study on a regular basis and took a number of single day outings with her friends from Johnson Ferry.
