Mildred Hiday


Mildred (Milli) Ann Hiday (Struewing) of Albion and Burlington passed away on November 23, 2020. Milli was born on June 1, 1938 to Arthur and Mildred Struewing, grew up in Milton, Indiana and graduated from Milton High School. On June 7, 1958, Milli married her high school sweetheart, Franklin Hiday, and they were married for 59 years until Frank’s passing in 2017.
Milli and Frank moved to Albion, Michigan in 1965 with their two children, Daniel and Jeanne. Milli worked as the school secretary at St. Johns school for over 10 years where she developed many treasured friendships of parents, students, and co-workers. After resigning in 1984, she became a local business owner of a salon called Sunsations.
Milli loved to travel. Her family spent many summers traveling and camping around the U.S. when her children were younger, and later Milli and Frank continued to take special trips out west, up north, and to Lake Michigan with their children and grandchildren.
Milli’s greatest love was for her children, grandchildren, and in her later years, her 10 great-grandchildren. She and Frank spent a great amount of time throughout their lives traveling to their children’s and grandchildren’s ball games, dance competitions, graduations, and special events. She also made sure that her family spent every summer vacationing at “The Lake” where lasting memories were made for over 30 years.
Milli was a kind and loving woman who will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
