Maxie “Toogie” H.
McMillen, age 77 of Nancy, KY died peacefully in her sleep at her
residence on Friday, January 28, 2011.
Toogie was born on June 8,
1933 in McDowell, KY to the late Ira and Gladys Jones Hamilton.
Toogie graduated from High School at 15 years old, attended
Morehead College and received her bachelor’s degree in education
from Wright State University. She proudly taught 1st
through 3rd grade elementary students in the New
Carlisle-Bethel School District in Medway, OH until her retirement
in 1981.
Toogie married Charles C.
McMillen on March 2, 1957. They were a loving, devoted couple who
enjoyed raising their three children, Patricia, Barry, and Brad in
the Medway area. Toogie and Charles enjoyed spending time with
family and friends both in Ohio and near Lake Cumberland, KY,
where the couple fished, boated and enjoyed the countryside every
chance they could. They loved the Lake Cumberland area so much
they decided to build their retirement home there, where they have
enjoyed 28 wonderful years. Toogie served on the community
Steering Committee and worked diligently to bring upgraded utility
services into the area.
Her hobbies included
traveling, playing cards, reading, watching car races, and
cheering for UK Basketball. She especially looked forward to the
Hamilton family reunions in June every year.
Toogie is survived by her
husband, Charles; daughter, Patricia Mirrell (and husband, Ron) of
Shelbyville, KY; sons, Barry McMillen (and fiancée, Heidi Black)
of Springfield, OH and Bradley McMillen of Medway, OH; four

Medway, OH; one sister, Mazel Stumbo (and husband, Collis) of
Bowling Green, KY; a sister-in-law, Peggy Hamilton of Medway, OH;

friends and neighbors.
Along with her parents, she
