Mildred Millie Gaby

Mildred 'Millie' Gaby, passed into God's realm, on Oct. 25, 2011, after a difficult slide through a labyrinth of hope and futility, passing of natural causes. Millie will always be remembered for her bright smile and willingness to accede to others suggestions. She loved to attend her Beta Sigma Phi luncheons and meetings. For many years she, with hubby, Bob, square danced from Colorado to Texas, California and even an afternoon in Mexico. Anywhere the call 'Square Em Up'sounded she was on her feet, face glowing to join a square of eight happy dancers. Many nights as age was encroaching, we spent dancing at the Elks and Eagle Lodges. Millie was born in old St. Mary's Hospital on Jan. 27, 1923, to Horace and Mary Witzel. She is survived by husband, Robert Gaby; sister, Helen Witzel; brother, Richard; sister-in-law, Maxine Gaby; nephews, Vince (Diana) Gaby, Robert (Lisa) Gaby and Daniel Gaby all of California; nieces, Kathleen (Mike) Malvern, Arlene (Dennis) Baker of Grand Junction, Colo; cousins, Loretta Masterson and Daniel Masterson, Roberta Wallace, Mary Wallace and Marilee North of Tennessee. She was the mother of one child, Stewart Michael, who died on Sept. 2006. We would like to thank Dick and Fran Henry who were our teachers and close friends, Bob and Shirley Titman who talked us into trying square dancing. I would also like to thank close friends, Fred and June Hebein, John and Wanda Potter, and Jack and Pat DeHaven for their support. Special thanks to Dr. Jenson and staff, Sangre de Cristo Hospice and their support and Visiting Angels, especially Judy, Carol and Debbie. Viewing, Tuesday from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Montgomery & Steward Chapel. Funeral mass, 10 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011, at Our Lady of the Meadows, 23 Starling Dr., with the Rev. Fr. Ben Bacino as celebrant. Interment, Imperial Memorial Gardens.
