Milber moved to the Holden area in her 8^th grade year immediately making lifelong friends and meeting her high school sweetheart, Willis Stewart. They married on February 4, 1961. She was a member of First Pentecostal Church of Denham Springs and lived a good and godly life. She loved nothing more than her family, feeding people, canning vegetables from the garden, and camping with their circle of friends. We celebrate the life of a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to many.
