Re: Obit: MILLS, Erma Mae [nee LEWIS]

Hi Avalon:

Thanks. I’m pretty sure I’m correct on this but wanted another confirmation to be sure.

Robert was a divorcee when he m/2 Emma Mae Lewis. Some of the children referred to in his obit may be from m/1 to (???).

Erma may have had a son, Richard Lewis before she m/1 Bob. Son, Shawn Mills maybe from Bob and Erma.

Robert's mother should be Annie Emma Taggart , not Elizabeth. I understand the mistake as most people (obviously including family) knew her as Lizzie

   Although this obit gives little genealogical information, I believe she may
be the d/o Edgar Munroe Lewis and Effie Grace Douglas; born Fox River and
Tidnish Bridge respectively.

Her hubby may have been Robert Norman "Bob" Mills (1925-1911) from Baie
Verte, N.B.

If anyone can confirm/repute these connections, it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Obituary

Erma Mae Lewis Mills

Passed away suddenly after a long illness.

She leaves behind her beloved family and her pride and joy, son Shawn.

Along with many relatives and friends.

We all hold our own memory of how she touched our lives.

Her last wish was to have no service and her ashes to be placed in her
choice of resting place.

At a later time we will honor her memory by having a family celebration of
life.

If you wish you can make a donation in her memory to the Hospital ICU Unit
or to the animal shelter.

Thank you all for your kindness,

The Mills Family

And your beloved cat George.

We Love You Mom.
