Mildred "Millie" Ruth Conrad

Millie was born on June 27, 1931 to Albert and Martha (Brauer) Proefrock in rural Effingham County. She was brought into Christ by God’s work of faith when she was baptized on July 5, 1931. She remained in Christ by God’s grace as she trusted in His word daily. She was his bold witness and a true prayer warrior.
