She was born in Blind River and grew up in Meldrum Bay when her family moved there. After serving at No. 1 Technical Training School, St. Thomas, Ontario she was posted overseas to No. 6 (RCAF) Bomber Group, Yorkshire, England. After a term at the Conversion Unit, Wombleton, she joined the Mobile Field Hospital to prepare for duty on the Continent after the invasion. While at Wombleton, a pilot who was flying bombers came to visit Millie. His name was Millman too, Ralph Millman. He wondered if they were relatives. No, they weren't but they became friends and later married in East Grinstead. After a brief honeymoon they went back to their respective units. The term of service on the Continent was limited and Millie was sent back to England to the repatriation depot at Warrington. While there she was notified that her husband had been killed in action. Later she went to serve at the RCAF hospital at East Grinstead. She was one of the first nursing sisters on the beaches of Normandy after the 1944 D-Day Assault. She helped many brave soldiers recuperate from their wounds, throughout France. She was repatriated to Canada and discharged in August 1945. After attending University she worked with the Red Cross doing Public Health Nursing on Manitoulin Island. Earlier in her career, following graduation, she had worked as a private nurse in Toronto East General Hospital as a supervisor on the surgical floor. Following repatriation to Canada and her discharge in 1945, she attended university and then nursed for the Red Cross in many towns across Northern Ontario. She first nursed at Apsley, followed by Hawk Junction, Callender, and finally for many years in Gore Bay, where she traveled all over the Island. After her father died in 1963, Edna returned home to Meldrum Bay, to look after her mother for her remaining years. Edna lived alone in her family home for many years until she moved to Espanola, to an apartment connected to the nursing home and hospital, for a few years, until she moved back to the Island, to reside at Manitoulin Lodge, in Gore Bay, in 1990. She lived at the Lodge until her death on June 9, 1999. Edna was an inspiration to many of the staff at the Lodge. She is greatly missed, by her many friends, caregivers and family.
