Maxie McMillen
June 8, 1933 — January 28, 2011
Maxie "Toogie" H. McMillen, age 77 of Nancy, KY died peacefully in her sleep at her residence on Friday, January 28, 201 1.
Toogie was born on June 8, 1933 in McDowell, KY to the late Ira and Gladys Jones Hamilton. Toogie graduated from High School at 15 years old, attended Morehead College and received her bachelor's degree in education from Wright State University. She proudly taught 1st through 3rd grade elementary students in the New Carlisle-Bethel School District in Medway, OH until her retirement in 1981.
Toogie married Charles C. McMillen on March 2, 1957. They were a loving, devoted couple who enjoyed raising their three children, Patricia, Barry, and Brad in the Medway area. Toogie and Charles enjoyed spending time with family and friends both in Ohio and near Lake Cumberland, KY, where the couple fished, boated and enjoyed the countryside every chance they could. They loved the Lake Cumberland area so much they decided to build their retirement home there, where they have enjoyed 28 wonderful years. Toogie served on the community Steering Committee and worked diligently to bring upgraded utility services into the area.
Her hobbies included traveling, playing cards, reading, watching car races, and cheering for UK Basketball. She especially looked forward to the Hamilton family reunions in June every year.
Toogie is survived by her husband, Charles; daughter, Patricia Mirrell (and husband, Ron) of Shelbyville, KY; sons, Barry McMillen (and fiancée, Heidi Black) of Springfield, OH and Bradley McMillen of Medway, OH; four grandchildren, Monica (and Todd) Gazuoda, James (and Lori) McElwain, Melanie (and Ahsan) Ullah, and Jenna (and Jeff) Woelfer; six great grandchildren, Michael, Bailey, Sarah, Nicky, Molly, and Jamie Raegan; one brother, Birchel Hamilton (and wife, Lena) of Medway, OH; one sister, Mazel Stumbo (and husband, Collis) of Bowling Green, KY; a sister-in-law, Peggy Hamilton of Medway, OH; seven nieces and nephews whom she loved very much; and numerous friends and neighbors.
Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her younger brother, Harold Hamilton, formerly of Medway, OH; a brother, Bernice, who died in infancy; and an infant great granddaughter, Anna Sophie.
