Millie Jane Moss was born July 27, 1914 and passed from this life November 27, 2010 at her home east of Vici, Oklahoma at the age of 96 years and 4 months. Millie was born near Seiling, OK on her grandpa Jim Foale's homestead. She was the 4th child born to Roy and Nellie Titus. Millie had 2 older brothers Ralph and Casey and 3 sisters Letham, Luella and Vera. Her family made several moves within Dewey County before settling back on the Titus homestead, 2 miles south of Bloomfield, OK, when Millie was 6 years old.

Millie attended grade school at Bloomfield through the 8th grade and graduated high school in Camargo, OK. She often said she learned a lot about cooking from Mrs. Reisdorph, while working at the hotel in Camargo for room and board, to be able to finish her high school education. Dancing was the entertainment of choice at that time. Her family often would load up the wagon and attend dances in local barns. At one dance in Lenora, she was spotted by her husband-to-be, Claud Moss, who had no quarter to attend the dance. He peaked through a crack in the barn and told a friend, "That girl is gonna be my wife," even though they had never met. Later Claud's intuition came to pass. They were married on December 23, 1933 at the home of Lyman Moss. Millie later advised against getting married while still in school, stating " I was green and dumb and didn't know better".

Millie loved basketball. She was an excellent player, playing for the Camargo Blackhawks. She played basketball when the court was divided into 3 sections. Her senior year, she was chosen to play in Nationals in Wichita Kansas, which kept her from attending her wedding shower. So Claud attended the shower while she played basketball. Later, she was asked to play basketball overseas, but chose to stay here with her husband.

In 1936, Claud and Millie moved to the Duer place, about 1.5 miles south of the Church of the Firstborn. While living there, they began to attend church. They gave their hand to be baptized on November 4, 1936 by Uncle Glynn Smith into the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, along with five others. In the spring of 1937, they moved to Yellowjacket, CO, near Cortez. While living there, they were blessed with the arrival of their daughter Billie Shirlene. Claud decided to move the family back to Oklahoma in 1941, as he didn't like all the snow. While living near Camargo, they were blessed with a little red-headed baby boy, Jimmie Leon on December 16, 1946. Shortly thereafter, they moved to the Webb community. The Webb school board asked Millie to drive the bus and cook for the school children. She took great pride in preparing a good school lunch. Those that attended school during those years, have fond memories of her good food and delicious cinnamon rolls.

They faced a great tragedy in 1959 with the loss of their son Jimmie. This was a hard trial that required them to lean heavily upon the Lord.

Millie often prayed for a bigger house to have room for the brethren. She felt so blessed when they were able to buy the property by the church east of Vici in 1964 and build a new house. She loved where she lived. She often thanked God for making a way for her to live right in the middle of the brethren. Millie and Claud were blessed with 47 years of marriage, until his passing in 1981. Through the years, she was Claud's right hand, always helping him with the cattle and horses, which she greatly enjoyed.

Millie truly loved people. It didn't matter who was at her front door, she was always so happy to see them. She often started cooking when a snow storm came, hoping someone would get stranded and have to stay with her.

Millie was an excellent cook and she loved to feed people. If you didn't get full at Millie's it was your own fault. Sunday just wasn't Sunday if she didn't have the brethren around her table. Her desire was to host each of the brethren in her home. If you were sick, you knew she would show up with something good to eat, often a hot pan of cinnamon rolls.

Millie was always a hard worker. She never slowed down from morning till night, and always wanted to help with the work even when her strength and eyesight were failing. She loved to mow with her riding lawn mower. She maintained her own lawn until she was 93 years old. Millie was even known to help her great grandsons, Levi and Jackson, with their mowing jobs in the summer, often following them on her riding mower, to get a job done quicker.

Millie was a great ambassador for the town of Vici. She loved living in this community and thought there was no better place to live. When she would go eat at the café, or attend a ballgame, it seemed that everyone knew her and stopped to speak. She often judged people by how friendly they were.

She loved to play pitch with her good friends. In her last few years, she taught her great-grandkids how to play and they became her card partners. She seldom lost, but if she did it didn't dampen her enthusiasm. Her final card game was played one week before her death, and as usual, Millie's team came out the winner.

Millie loved to go. She was always ready to get in that car and head somewhere. She loved to go shopping and eat out. She often managed to forget an item on her list so she had an excuse to go back to Woodward the next day. When someone would remind her that she wasn't saving money by driving someplace to get a bargain, she would inform them that the "gas didn't count."

Through the years, she loved to attend all her grandkids and great grandkids school events, but especially their basketball games. She was a very devoted mother, grandmother, and great grandmother and the highlight of this year was becoming a great, great grandma. She was always the life of the party with her quick wit and spunky personality.

Preceding her in death were her parents, Roy and Nellie Titus, her husband Claud Moss, their son Jimmie, sisters Letham and Vera Titus, brothers Ralph and Casey Titus, and son-in-laws Troy Cunningham and Clyde Lewis.
