WORCESTER-Mildred “Millie” Bilbilian, 82 died September 12, at Calvary Hospital, Bronx, NY following a lengthy illness.
She was born in Worcester on March 8, 1933. Millie spent her early childhood in West Boylston before moving to Worcester where she attended local schools. She met and married Harold Bilbilian and together they spent over 41 years until his passing in 2005.
Millie had a love for flowers, especially orchids. This led her to spend her career working for Flowerland Inc., for over 40 years, where had an incredible and unprecedented business relationship with all of her Flowerland customers.
When she wasn’t at the flower shop, she enjoyed cooking for her family and friends and also partaking in a game of cards.
Her elegance was timeless and her outer beauty the admiration of so many. More importantly, at the core of her being, was the most genuine, loyal and thoughtful person any family member, friend, employer or neighbor could ever ask for in life. She will be dearly missed.
Millie is survived by her daughter, Beth Kennedy and her husband Michael, of Pearl River, NY; her son, David Bilbilian and his significant other, Tracy Della Russo of Medford; Grandsons, Shane and Dylan Kennedy, Thomas and Anthony Bilbilian; a sister Laurie Gefvert and her husband David; several nieces and nephews and many close friends.
Visiting hours will be held on Saturday September 19, from 9 until 11am, at the Fay Brothers Funeral Home, 1 West Boylston St., West Boylston. A prayer service will take place at 11:15 in the funeral home. Burial will be privately held at a later date.
Memorial contributions may be made in her memory to the Calvary Fund, 1740 Eastchester Rd., Bronx, NY 10461
