Mildred 'Millie' G. (Leonard) Grensavitch

August 16, 1920 — July 11, 2012

PAXTON - Mildred "Millie" G. (Leonard) Grensavitch, 91, of Paxton passed away on Wednesday, July 11, 2012 in the home of her son, Richard. She was predeceased by her husband of 49 years, Joseph Grensavitch who died in 1987.
She leaves her children, Carol wife of Dr. Richard Miller of Exeter, New Hampshire, D. Susan wife of Larry Hughes of Virginia Beach, Virginia, Richard and his wife Debra of Paxton, and Kenneth and his wife Mary Jean of Hartford, Wisconsin. She also leaves 14 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and 2 great great-grandchildren. Mildred was born in Worcester on August 16, 1920, the adopted daughter of Elizabeth (Delaluzerene) and Reuben Leonard and lived in Worcester until moving to Paxton in October of 1942. She was also predeceased by her son, Joseph Grensavitch, a granddaughter, Michele Lacroix, and two brothers, Gerald and Kenneth Leonard.

Millie was a housekeeper for many families. She bowled with the Paxton Senior Bowling League for 20 years until 2010, and volunteered for many years at the Paxton Senior Center. She was a member of the First Congregational Church of Paxton and a former member of the Paxton Legion Ladies Auxiliary. She enjoyed music, line dancing, traveling, and crocheting but she got the most joy out of watching all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow and all of their accomplishments.

Your commitment and love shown to her during this time will be forever remembered and we will all be forever grateful.
