The greatest person I have ever known. I miss her everyday and smile thinking of our trips to arbor drug store and her eating the sausage from my biscuits and gravy when we walked to Hardee's after sleepovers which she did every  weekend with one grandchild or another no matter how many times she got kneed in the back at night. I love you Gram and hope I can be 1/2 the lady, mom , grandma, and great grandma you were. Gone but never forgotten 

Dear Hickman family,  my heart goes out to you all during this difficult time. My life was blessed by knowing your Mom.  i was privileged to know Millie (Mrs. Hickman) for over 50 yrs. she was a very special lady, her caring and loving heart touched the lives of many.  Millie was the definition of a Mother, loving her family unconditionally, putting you first. She always had a smile on her face and i can hear her laughter now, a sweet sound, she will be missed.  Your families are in my thoughts and prayers. 

Couldn’t ask for a better Grandmother ❤️ . From sleepovers with warm milk & crosswords to warm baked bread & showing me how to make ramen noodles as a small child.  She really took time with each of her grandchildren & great grandchildren and made us all feel like we were special. I will miss her dearly . As a new grandmother myself I can only hope I can come close to making my grandchild and future grandchildren feel as special as she made me feel.  We were blessed to have her so long .  ❤️

Millie was the proverbial "woman behind the man (family) "who was a major influence upon her sons,  George, Roseville Fire Chief, David, navy veteran, company president and technical advisor countrywide, Peg, Ellie, and Kim, who cooperated on Millie's homecare faithfully, while successfully working and raising caring families.  I LOVED her, and will miss her terribly, and strive to be more like  this wonderful lady.   

What a wonderful lady, my breakfast buddy.  Thanks for being you. ❤


Grandma Millie was such a warm, and kind hearted person. I'm so glad Julian and I got to know her. Julian absolutely adored her! We will miss her!! Sending thoughts, hugs, prayers, and condolences to all of the family. 

What a privilege to grow up with such a wonderful kind and intelligent Lady for a mother. Till the end she was nothing but class. I will love her forever.       Her 1rst born and a very grateful and lucky man I am to be her son.

Grandma with her Great Great Granddaughter Aubree. How blessed we are to have her so long. 

I never got the opportunity to meet her.  She was my cousin.  My mother, Christine Masters Carr talked often about her and her children's visit to her home in Tennessee several years before she passed away.   She was so proud to get to know her brother, Leslie's daughter and grandchildren since they had lost contact over the years.  So sorry for your loss.  May God comfort you in this time of sorrow.

I love you Mom and I will always miss you. God blessed us with the most wonderful mother we could have asked for. 

Such a beautiful, warmhearted, classy lady!   Her legacy lives on in her children and her grandchildren!   I was fortunate to know her.

So honored to spend many occasions with this beautiful soul. May she Rest In Peace in eternal light. 

Mildred and I were first cousins. We were friends on facebook, but I really wanted to meet her in person. I could tell that she was an awesome woman, great mother and grandmother. Such a sweet and Beautiful woman. God knows we'll meet in Heaven some sweet day! So very sorry for your loss!

Missing my beautiful Grandma. My heart is hurting, but I'm so grateful that I had 45 years with her.
