Ms. Millicent as she was fondly called, attended Jarritten Baptist Church in Wattown, Jamaica where she accepted the lord as her personal savior at the young age of 15. Ms. Millicent loved the Lord with all of her heart and lived as an example for him. Her love for people and the work of God, did not go unnoticed. She was a powerful prayer warrior, missionary, loved ministering to the children and those in need when she went on her mission trips with The New Christ Foundation International Ministries, under the leadership of Dr. Norma Cole. Ms. Millicent was a tremendous support to the ministry. There was not a Banquet, Prayer Service, sorting and packing of the clothes, travel to Miami to ship the items or the mission trips, that she did not impact in some kind of way.
She left Jamaica in 1965 and relocated to New Brunswick, New Jersey. She worked at Jersey Bell for over 30 years as a Telecommunications Operator. The duration of her time on the job speaks of her hard work and dedication to being a productive citizen. It was in New Jersey where she met and married the love of her life, Mr. Edgar Smith, who preceded her in death in 1997. To this union was born a beautiful daughter Natacha Smith.
In 2005, Ms. Millicent relocated to Kissimmee, FL to enjoy her retired life.
