Milly was born on January 2, 1913, in Ramsgate, England, and at the age of three, came to Canada with her mother Amelia, her sister Dorothy and her brother Charles to join their father Frederick Francklin in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Milly was predeceased by her parents, sister Dorothy, sister-in-law Grace and special friend Rolph Nelson.

She moved to Kenora in 1953 to work at Lakewood School, firstly in the office and then in the library until her retirement in 1978. Milly was an active member of the First Baptist Church and volunteered with the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation for many years.
