Lynn Wilkins McMillan, age 103, of Windsor, Colo. passed away on Sept. 7, 2012. Known by "Mac," he was born on June 11, 1909 in Paducah, Texas. He was raised on a farm with his five sisters and two brothers. Mac attended the Univ. of Texas and upon graduation worked in accounting and bookkeeping until he was drafted in the Army in the spring of 1941. Mac had various assignments in World War II, spending time in Virginia, New York, the Philippines, and Japan. He then went on to serve in the Army Reserve for 20 years as well as being a part of the National Guard. Mac worked for the Veterans Administration where he dedicated his career to civil service for 30 years.
He married the love of his life, Elizabeth on Oct. 12, 1941 and enjoyed 60 wonderful years together. Mac and Elizabeth enjoyed traveling, square dancing, and of course their family and many wonderful friends.
Mac spent most of his married life in Dallas, Texas, moving to Rigden Farm Senior Retirement in Ft. Collins after Elizabeth died.
Mac loved being at Rigden Farm, he made so many friends, many of them were like family. He loved working in the garden, tending to the tomato plants, they even put a plaque in his honor in the garden, "Mac's Garden."
He kept busy doing crossword puzzles, bingo, of course happy hour every Friday with a margarita, and enjoyed all of the outings and other activities. Mac always had a smile, a different bola around his neck and enjoyed all that life had to offer.
The Northern Colorado Honor Flight that he took on Sept. 11, 2009, at age 100 was one of his most precious memories.
Mac leaves behind a son, Charlie and wife Karen from Windsor, Colo.; granddaughter, Debbie Mosier, her husband Jon, and great grandsons, Sean and Jake from Windsor, Colo; grandson, David McMillan, his wife, Teresa, great grandsons, Brandon, and Tyler from Boise, Idaho.
In lieu of Flowers, it was Mac's wish that a donation be made to the Northern Colorado Honor Flight so other veterans would be given the chance to experience a trip back to Washington DC.
