Millie was a graduate of Athens High School (Georgia) and the University of Georgia, with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. She worked at the health department in Athens, and later worked for her husband’s businesses for several years. She also was a private secretary for 16 years to Loretta (Mrs. Ira) Keller.

She sang in the church choir as a Baptist in Athens, and served as a deacon in the Presbyterian church in Portland. She lived in Georgia, Washington, Hawaii, and Oregon. Millie travelled to all fifty states as well as Europe, the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East. She loved the trees, mountains, and coast of Oregon, but she faithfully rooted for her Georgia Bulldogs throughout her life. She enjoyed playing bridge, hosting dinner parties, and was a member of the Broadmoor Women’s Club. Her greatest strength in life, and peace in death, is her Christian faith.

She was preceded in death by her parents and three brothers: Donald Martin, R.C. “Sam” Martin, and Otis “Eddie” Martin.

She is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Dr. Shannon P. Pratt; her four children: Mike Pratt (Barb Brooks) of Portland, Oregon; Susie Wilder (Tim) of Springfield, Virginia; Georgia Senor (Tom) of Fayetteville, Arkansas; and Steve Pratt of Jinan, China; her ten grandchildren: Elisa, Katie, Randall, Graham, John, Calvin, Addy, Kenny, Meg, and Zeph; and Jenny Pratt.

The family is indebted to a fabulous crew of caregivers, as well as neighbors, who have lovingly tended to Millie in her home for the past several years.
