Obituary
Mildred “Millie” E. Longo (Lees), age 68, passed away peacefully with her family by her side February 21, 2012 after an extended battle with Multiple Myeloma. She was born in Columbus, OH on April 16, 1943. After raising two children, Millie began her career as a food representative for Pfeister Co. and then spent several years as a realtor for King Thompson Coldwell Banker. After retiring, she spent several winters in her home in Bonita Springs, Florida and summers in Dublin, OH. Millie loved the outdoors while gardening, walking the beaches, hiking, and biking. She always loved a new adventure and was fortunate enough to travel to many different destinations. She enjoyed sewing and crafts. Millie was a member of Twig 180 (benefitting Children’s Hospital) as well as a member of the Dublin Garden Club. Her greatest passion was always supporting and loving all eleven of her grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents: Dwight and Esther Lees.

Dear Dan and all of Millie's family -
I offer my sincere sympathy at the passing of yor beloved Millie. I 'met' Millie when researching her Legner family line. Willingly, she provided needed information. After the publication of the Legner Book, Millie was able to read of her Legner heritage. For her mother's 100th birthday, Millie found "tidbits" of family history in the book as she put together a Memory Book for her mother Esther's milestone birthday.
She is now enjoying quality time with her Mother in eternal bliss in the company of their Savior, Jesus. I will miss her email messages.
Love,
Don (3rd cousin on the Legner side)

Remembering my dear friend, Millie Longo. She & hubby Dan, and John & I, bicycled and had such fun together in the past. We climbed out to Charlie's Bunion in the Smokey Mountains. We discovered on another Smokies trip that we could indeed hike and have a blast - even tho 3 of us were so sick with colds - with help from the nice combination of Rebel Yell, honey & lemon. We 4 watched the sun rise on Mt. Pleasant on a crisp clear New Year's morning at Malibar Farms. Millie lived courageously since 2007 with Multiple Myeloma. You have given me strength, beautiful Millie, in your love of life and in your peaceful passing.

Dear Denny:
I always think about the day you & Millie & Jack & I first met at the first Hope Lutheran Bonita Bay beach party walking along the beach. I just felt totally connected to Millie as a good friend right from the start. She's been in my prayers ever since then. She certainly put up a good fight for a long time. Now she has total rest & peace with our Lord! Finally; good for her! We pray for "All God's Blessings to You". May God give you His peace & comfort as you mourn her loss. In Christ, Diane & Jack Simon
