Mildred J. “Millie” Robillard, 96, of Kenosha, passed away on Friday, February 4, 2011, at Golden Living Center. Born on October 21, 1914, in Stephenson, MI, she was the daughter of the late Napoleon and Lena (Buell) LaComb. She was raised and educated in Stephenson, MI, with her two brothers and two sisters, and worked in a bakery there while young. On May 17, 1941, Millie married Louis A. “Tony” Robillard in Stephenson, MI, at Precious Blood Catholic Church. Shortly after their wedding, the Robillards moved to Kenosha. Louis preceded Millie in death in 1998. Millie was a generous and loving woman who dedicated her life to helping others. She devoted herself to being a homemaker and mother to her three children. She spent many hours volunteering at the Shalom Soup Kitchen, delivered food for Meals on Wheels, and knitted hundreds of baby hats for newborns at local hospitals. Millie’s interests were many and diverse. She loved camping in northern Wisconsin and Michigan with her family, enthusiastically supported her beloved Green Bay Packers, and was an avid reader. Prior to moving to Golden Living Center, Millie enjoyed her card club and birthday club for many years. She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church for over 60 years. Surviving Millie are her three children, Jean L. Englund, James A. (Jan) Robillard and Charles W. Robillard; two grandchildren, Amanda M. (Joseph Wroblewski) Robillard and Eric J. (Rebecca Gunderson) Robillard; and one great- grandchild, Adelyn G. Robillard, along with many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by two sisters, Erna Rivard and Mary Loberger; and two brothers, Joseph and John LaComb.

I would like to express my sympathy to Millie's sons and daughter. She was my godmother, as was Tony my godfather. They were a part of my growing up as the daughter of Willie and Janet LaCombe. You have many memories to help you through this time, and I am glad of that for you.I am going through some old photographs and negatives now that I have a scanner and more time (I am retired). There are several of you all that I would like to share with you. Janet LaCombe (Jr.) jlouie23@juno.com

Dear Jim, Jean and Charlie,Our sincere sympathy in the death of your Mother. I have the fondest memories of Aunt Millie & Uncle Tony. They were a joy to us in their frequent visits to Michigan during our growing-up years. It is sad to know that she was the last of that LaComb generation. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May you feel the peace and comfort of God, as only He can give.Our love to you.Paul & Rosemary
