Millie Prange Villarrubia

Mildred Prange Villarrubia passed away on April 26, 2026, at the age of 93. She was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on November 17, 1932. She attended her beloved St. Henry’s Elementary School and was a 1950 graduate of Sophie B. Wright High School. She was a past president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Home Builder’s Association of Greater New Orleans.

Millie is survived by her daughter, Pam Villarrubia McCullough (Mike); son, Donald Joseph Villarrubia, Jr. (Jill); grandchildren, Megan McCullough, Catherine McCullough, Shelby Villarrubia Pickett (Ryan), Riley Villarrubia, and Avery Villarrubia; great grandchildren, Eleanor Pickett and Margot Pickett; and sister, Myrtle P. Gettys.
