Mildred C. “Millie” Witte of Newtown died peacefully on August 12, 2014 at Chandler Hall in Newtown. She was 93.

Mildred was the beloved wife of the late Henry R. Witte Sr.

Born in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Catherine Neel Bescript, and mother and mother-in-law of the late Ronald F. and Christine Witte and was preceded in death by her 11 siblings.

Millie was a former resident of Churchville for 50 years before moving to independent living at Chandler Hall in 2004.

She was a member of the Legion of Mary and the Marian9Society; she was a faithful volunteer at the former St. Joseph Home for the Aged in Holland and looked forward to singing with the Merry Tones choral group. In the prime of her life Millie loved to go bowling and work in her garden but Millie’s biggest joy in life was meeting and enjoying time spent with old and new friends.

The twinkle in her eyes came from her 13 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren when they came to visit with her and play cards. Millie will be sadly missed by her family and the many friends she had at Chandler Hall.
