Mildred "Millie" Evelyn Nusser, 95, of Holton, Kansas, was called home to be with her Lord and Savior on October 14, 2025. She is now celebrating in Heaven with her husband, Harold, and daughters, Jan and Joyce, who preceded her in death. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and faithful servant who will be deeply missed.

Millie was born to Henry and Nora (Harsh) Wedel on July 15, 1930, in Moundridge, KS. She grew up in Syracuse, KS, with her five siblings, and it was there that she married the love of her life, Harold, on April 23, 1949. They began their journey together in Garden City, KS. Theirs was a remarkable love story grounded in enduring faith and commitment. Their 76-year marriage created a beautiful legacy for their family. Millie was a constant source of strength and support for her husband throughout their ministry. Her work often happened behind the scenes, yet her quiet strength and gentle spirit left a lasting impact on countless lives.

Alongside her husband and other faithful followers of Christ, Millie was instrumental in starting Bible Christian Church in Garden City. In 1970, feeling called to full-time ministry, Harold and Millie moved to Oklahoma so Harold could attend Midwest Christian College. Millie worked in the kitchen at Oklahoma Christian College while Harold was a full-time student. Their ministry first took them to Jones, OK, then to Vici, OK.

In 1979, Harold and Millie joined the Cookson Hills Christian Ministry family, beginning 37 years of service. They started as house parents in Siloam Springs, AR, caring for unwed mothers. Over the years, they took on many roles, becoming "adopted grandparents" to many. They traveled to numerous churches representing Cookson Hills Ministries. In 2016, Harold and Millie moved back to Kansas to be closer to their daughter, Kathy. There, they became members of Circleville Christian Church.

Millie's greatest joy was her family. She was the mother of three daughters: Kathy Dyer (Bill) of Mayetta, KS; Janice Meyers (David); and Joyce Lambert (Brad), both now deceased. She was a proud grandmother of five: Brent Meyers (Brandy), Lori Self (Larry), Jamie Morphew (Kevin), Joel Dyer (Kari), and Kayla Hubbard (Tywon). She was blessed to be called "Granny" by 15 great-grandchildren—Zane (Lindsey), Aiden, Josh, Kale (Emily), Jenson, Isaac, Aidan, Jace, Bodie, Eli, Harrison, Ty, Raden, Jalen, and Hope—and she lived to meet her great-great-grandson, Fritz. Millie is also survived by her younger sister, Anne Ping (Gerald) of Lawrence, KS.

Mildred was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Harold; two daughters, Joyce and Jan; two sisters, Ethel and Kathryn; and two brothers, Walter and Bob.

Millie had an ornery streak that not everyone knew about. She knew how to make others laugh and would often yodel just because she could. As a Granny, she must have read The Three Little Pigs a thousand times, and each time it was her own "unique" version of the story. She loved to clean house and was happiest at a sink full of dirty dishes. Family joked that St. Peter met her at the gates of Heaven with a dust rag waiting for her. Millie also enjoyed painting, scrapbooking, collecting dishes, and cooking for her family. But most of all, Millie had an unwavering faith in God that defined her life and consistently pointed others toward the love of Jesus.

Millie's life was one of grace, service, laughter, and love—a legacy that lives on in the many hearts she touched. Though we mourn her loss, we rejoice in knowing she is home at last, safe in the arms of her Savior.

A celebration of her life will be held at Circleville Christian Church, Circleville, KS, on November 1 at 10:30 a.m. Private family inurnment will take place at a later date at the Cookson Hills Christian Ministry Cemetery in Kansas, Oklahoma.
