Millie started singing at the age of 8. A member of the original Cumberland County Barn Dance, she had to stand on a chair to reach the microphone. Later in life she had her own band, Millie Lee and The Leeways and was thrilled to open shows for several Nashville artists such as Buck Owens, Ray Price, Merle Haggard, George Jones and Hank Williams Jr., to name a few. She was still singing with a band a week or two ago. While managing her band, Millie also worked in the Art Department at E.W. Petty Printing Company, for many years.
Millie enjoyed gardening, collecting antiques, making jelly and apple butter and quilting-- of which she made several for her children and grandchildren. She had a contagious laugh, quick wit and a wonderful sense of humor.
Millie had three children. Loren Lindsay preceded in death, Stacey (Mike) Nichols, Teddi Lindsay-Tabacek (Mike), stepchildren Leslie Lindsay, Allison Lindsay-Sullivan, Angel Carter and Rusty Stewart preceded in death. She had 8 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. She married the love of her life, James L. Stewart in 2011.
She leaves behind a brother, Virgil Gentry and a sister, Linda Schrock. She was preceded in death by her parents, son Loren, brothers Ralph, Carl, Donald, Bob, Paul, Dale and sisters Dorothy Hannah, Alene Gutmann and Shirley Cisney
