Millie was born in Chewelah, WA to Arthur and Florence Bashaw. She was the youngest of five girls. Millie married her high school sweetheart, Wallace "Duke" Meyer on January 5 ^th , 1944, just before he was deployed. She was a faithful Army wife for 22 years, following him through tours of Japan, Germany, and many stateside locations, before retiring to Spokane, WA.

Millie was a devoted mother to her six children.  She was an avid bridge player, loved doing crossword puzzles, reading, and watching the Gonzaga Bulldogs basketball games.

Millie and Duke were very fortunate to have enjoyed many years of being "snowbirds", with their friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, and daughter Deborah Ann Holdren. She is survived by five of her children, Sandra Compton (Butch), Sheri King, Janice Cassis (Tom), Robert Meyer (Julie), and James Meyer.  She had 14 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren.

Millie was a devoted Catholic and had waited a long time to be with her Lord Jesus, and join her husband and family in Heaven. Her family will miss her so much; she was our best friend, confidante, a giver of great advice and always our loving mother. She was loved and treasured by all.
