Mildred (Millie) Gertrude (Miholovic) Gruhn passed away on Tuesday, August 3rd in Niceville, Florida. She was born on January 9, 1924, in Cleveland, OH to Mike and Gertrude Miholovic. She is now with them in Heaven along with her husband Ben, her sister Anna and numerous close friends and family members.
Millie grew up in Cleveland and lived in the city for most of her life. An original career woman, she ran the office at Stadler Fertilizer after graduation from high school.
For the next few decades, Millie spent her time supporting Catholic education by volunteering at St Bridget of Kildare in Parma, OH where she helped in the library and was a Girl Scout Leader. In her spare time, Millie found time to spend with friends. She especially enjoyed reading music to her close friend Margaret, who had lost her sight and was a beautiful musician. She also loved hosting dinner parties for the Married Couples (a group that also included some single friends) and playing cards. She was always willing to spend with friends and family between her Tuesday night bridge club and other activities. Millie’s favorite thing was hearing about the antics of her daughter and her friends from the time they were in high school through college. She was much loved by Anne Therese’s friends Rita, Sally, Patty, Milka, Nancy, Tana, Aimee, Laura, and Kristin.
Millie and Ben’s pride and joy, Anne Therese, brought three life-changing people into Millie and Ben’s lives: Steve (son-in-law), Jake (grandson), and Josh (grandson).
She is survived by her daughter Anne Loken and husband Steve of Destin; her youngest grandson Joshua; her oldest grandson Jacob and wife Brianna, and their son, her most-loved great-grandson, Bennie. In her later years, one thing that brought her great joy was to Facetime with her grandsons, her beautiful granddaughter-in-law Bree and great-grandson Bennie.
The family would like to thank the staff of the Twin Cities Pavilion, especially Amanda, Shawna, and Jackie for the years of great joy and caring for both Millie and Ben.
