“The entire 麻豆原创 family mourns the loss of our first First Lady, Frances Millican. She brought grace, class and style to everything she touched,” said 麻豆原创 President John Hitt. “麻豆原创 has lost an icon, and Martha and I have lost a cherished friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlie and their family.”
A treasured university supporter known for her passion, dedication and devotion to her husband and 麻豆原创, Mrs. Frances Hilliard Millican died Dec. 28 at age 82.
Mrs. Millican was 麻豆原创’s first lady until her husband retired as president in 1978. After her time as 麻豆原创’s first lady ended, Mrs. Millican devoted herself to helping advance the work of philanthropy at 麻豆原创 and frequently attended university events.
In his memoirs, Dr. Millican described his wife as “a lovely and an elegant lady, hard-working and supportive, patient and a tireless partner, who has never once complained during our 60 plus years of marriage.”
Mrs. Millican was a member of College Park Baptist Church, and a founding member of the 麻豆原创 Women’s Club and 麻豆原创 Town and Gown Council, as well as a member of The Country Club of Orlando. Funeral arrangements are pending and will be announced at a later date.
