Mildred "Millie" Huffman

Our first blog post honors my husband’s AWESOME Grandma, Mildred “Millie” Huffman, whose 10-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease was part of our inspiration for starting Home Care Solutions of St. Louis.

Once you met Millie, you quickly learned and appreciated her tireless energy, passion and determination to make a change in the world. 

Millie was the first woman to be nominated for statewide office in Missouri when she became the Republican nominee for Secretary of State in 1976; she also served as the St. Louis County Clerk from 1967 to 1972, in various positions in GOP organizations in St. Louis County, and for two terms in the Missouri House before her run for statewide office. She later took a job heading the St. Louis office for the Secretary of State's office. She was on local boards for the American Cancer Society, the Salvation Army and Lutheran Charities.

In remembrance of Millie, please help us with the fight against Alzheimer's disease, the nation's sixth-leading cause of death. Visit The Alzheimer’s Associaiton at www.alz.org for more information about their efforts to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research.
