🎉 Looking back at Millie Millington’s incredible 104 years 🎉
This weekend, Dell Rose Court resident Millie celebrates an amazing milestone — her 104th birthday! Born on 8 February 1922 in Scotland, Millie was one of ten children and a twin. As a teenager, she joined the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, moved to England, met her late husband who served in the RAF, and together they raised three children. Today, she is also a proud great-grandmother.
Family has always been at the heart of Millie’s life. Famous for her homemade cakes, apple pies and three-course meals, she never let a birthday pass without baking something special — even for loved ones back in Scotland.
A natural performer, Millie has always loved to dance and sing, especially the foxtrot, quickstep and waltz. On her 100th birthday, she danced for hours, leaving her family “for dust”! She’s also well known for her raspberry jam and her tradition of seasonal fruit picking.
Since moving to Dell Rose Court in 2021 to be closer to family, Millie has become known for her mischievous humour, “naughty stories,” and impeccable style — often seen with her pearls on and ready for a party.
Her secret to a long life? Staying active and never letting age define her. As Millie says, “Inside, I feel twenty-five… you’ve got t’ laugh!”
Described by her family as a “truly glamorous granny,” Millie continues to bring joy, laughter and sparkle to everyone around her.
Happy 104th birthday, Millie! 🥂✨
