Marie Millar

When you get the opportunity to sit down and speak with Marie, the first thing you notice is her spryness and sincerity when she speaks. Having been a Resident for 20 years, she has seen many interactions and transitions at Saint Simeon's. "It's hard for me to pinpoint a specific memory that is my favorite. It's the people. The relationships that I have made during my time here really stand out. " Marie said when we sat down to speak with her about her time here.

From managing the Peggy V. Helmrich Library to folding the Quill and knitting baby bonnets, Marie does it all for her love of volunteering and helping others. Marie has made a tremendous contribution to Western Days over the years making hundreds of ever-popular dishcloths and scrubbies.

Originally from Canada, she traveled to the States with her late husband as he pursued his career in Oil & Gas. With stops in Michigan, California, and Ohio, they never imagined staying in Bartlesville, but as we have learned, life is unpredictable. Marie's journey included many twists and turns, but we are grateful she made her way to Saint Simeon's and has graced our hallways for the last 20 years.
