family, peacefully passed away surrounded by her family, at the young age of 96,
carrying her fighting spirit right until the end. Her remarkable life, characterized
by strength, resilience, joy, and boundless love, leaves an indelible mark on all
who were fortunate enough to know her.
Born Millicient Eileen Dobney on September 5th, 1927, in New Westminster, the
only child to Ellen and Norm. Growing up an only child, she was known for her
independence, determination and had a joyful spirit that could brighten any
room. It was this independence and determination that led her to UBC as one of
the only female commerce students in her class.
At UBC, she met her future husband of 58 years, Dennis Milne. Together they
had three children, Bruce (Diane), Janice Myren (Wilf), and Patty Milne Campbell (Rob) and built a beautiful life on the Windy Hill farm in Langley, BC. Their home was their happy place and was always a place of gathering, where laughter and love echoed through the halls.
In her later years, she maintained her unwavering spirit and sharp wit, continuing
to be a beacon of strength and inspiration to her family and friends. Her
resilience in the face of challenges served as a profound example to all. Her
happiest times were surrounded by her family, with a sports game on in the
background (go Blue Jays!).
Her zest for life was contagious and will live on in her 8 grandchildren Ian (Kari),
Brian (Carissa), Blair (Leah), Gord (Kandace), Jaime (Jason), Spencer, Braidie
(Rory), Chelsea (Jackson) and 9 great grandchildren (Eleanor, Henry, Kirra,
Kayden, Charlotte, Wilfred, Lochlan, Aidan, and Campbell.
We want to extend our heartfelt thank you to all of her caregivers at Amica White
Rock. Thank you for loving her and encouraging her to get involved.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 7th at Jan & Wilf's home
from 1:00pm to 4:00 pm, 7820 216th Ave Langley.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Canuck Place Children's Hospice in her memory. We will love you always.
