Daisy was born in Minto, Manitoba, on September 21, 1910, the oldest daughter of Charles and Louisa Parsons. The family moved to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1925, where she completed her education through Collegiate. She spent three years with the T. Eaton Company as a buyer. She then attended Winnipeg Bible College, where she met her husband-to-be, Donald Hugh McMillan. They were later married in Moose Jaw, on February 18th, 1938, serving for several years in the work of the Canadian Sunday School Mission, Pastoral work, and Bible College ministries. They then came to the United States to become part of the staff at the Minot, North Dakota Bible College, then to the First Baptist Church in Nebraska City, Nebraska, where they ministered for twenty-four years. In 1969, they answered the call to the First Baptist Church in Richland, Washington, where they remained until retirement. Daisy was predeceased by her parents, her two brothers and sister, and her husband, Donald Hugh McMillan, who passed away on July 20, 1998. She is survived by a son and daughter-in-law, three grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. There will be a funeral service at Einan's Funeral Home on Friday, September 14, 2012 at 10:00 am.
Daisy’s Son and Family,
Your mom and dad came to my church when I was only nine years old and they were the couple that I consider “My Pastor and Wife” to this day. Your dad baptized me when I was eleven years old and your mom was an ever present force of strength. She was kind and firm and supportive to the youngsters. She was a grandma to many of us, that extended family that helps us walk a straighter path. I was at my mom’s grave recently and walked by your dad’s marker and was flooded by warm feelings of respect and appreciation. Your mom’s earthly remains will lie next to your dad’s now and her soul is with Pastor McMillan and at peace. I remember Mrs. McMillan with fondness and appreciation.
“Mrs. McMillan” was a truly special neighbor and friend. It’s no exaggeration to say she was like a grandmother to me. My condolences to her family whom I’ve met only briefly over the years, but she told me so much about. You all meant everything to her. It saddens me to know that I won’t get to see her the next time I travel back to Richland, but it heartens me to think she is in a better place with God and the husband she loved so deeply and to whom she was so wholeheartedly committed.
To Daisy and Donald’s family: These two wonderful souls opened their home to me when I visited them more than 30 years after living in the house our family sold the church. They even let me spend a night in my old childhood bedroom. I hardly slept at all, I was so excited. We continued corresponding/visiting Daisy after Donald died, and I’ve informed my daughters today of Daisy’s passing. “She was one graceful lady,” one of them responds. And caring and concerned, and simply lovely. Rest in peace, Daisy.
Our condolences to the family,
Lesley, Kumari, and Anneke Nelson
Dear Mrs. Mac….I love you, and always will. Your guidance and couseling has given me 42 years of marriage,and I will always be gratful. Love, Janis and Nat.
