LITTLE: Mildred “Milly”

At Huronview on Wednesday July 8, 2026. Mildred “Milly” (Smith) Little of Goderich in her 92nd year. Beloved wife of the late Frank Little. Dear mother of Carolyn Carter (Chris) , John Little (Cathy), Nancy Boyce (Rob). Loving grandmother of Mary Anne Carter, Michael Carter, Katelyn Little (Kasey), Jack Little, Erin Johnston (Tyler), Scott Boyce (Ashley Leis), Karlee Nurse and Mason Nurse. Great grandmother of Riot. Predeceased by her brother James Smith and daughter-in-law Nancy Bedard.

Milly worked hard alongside her husband Frank, establishing various family businesses while simultaneously raising three children. She provided a wonderful home, always with love, support and a home cooked meal. She had a wonderful sense of humour, often delivering quick, comical comebacks. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she shared many wonderful times with them. Milly was an inspiration and a wonderful role model to many.
She will be dearly missed and cherished for years to come.

Our family is sincerely grateful for the care and compassion Mom received at Huronview in Clinton where she was treated with immense dignity and kindness.

A private family service and interment will be held at Maitland Cemetery. Donations to the Alexandra Marine & General Hospital, Magnetic Moments campaign, are gratefully acknowledged. Friends may sign the book of condolences at www.mccallumpalla.ca

Dear Carolyn,John and Nancy,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your Mom was such a lovely lady, and I am sure you will miss her so much.
Our families go back a long way! My Mom always recounted the good times and laughs shared with Milly as next door neighbours. Although they didn’t see each other that often they shared a wonderful long friendship. I like to think of them finally indulging in that rum and coke.
My deepest sympathies to you and your families.
