Millie was born Dec. 7, 1920 in West Sparta to Elmer and Mabel (Frost) Hartman. She lived on the Hartman family farm until she married Louis Pike. When Millie was a child in 4-H she showed cattle at the fair. In her teens, she worked at Grants Store and also at the hospital in the laundry. After marrying her husband Louis, they continued to live in West Sparta raising their family. Millie and Louis helped to raise foster children for 25 years, some of whom lived 17 years with their family. In 1983, she was predeceased by her husband, Louis Pike. Millie was also a writer for the Genesee Country Express newspaper for over 30 years where she enjoyed covering all the local happenings in West Sparta.

Millie was a very active member of the West Sparta Methodist Church and at one time she was president of 10 committees. She was also a member of the Eastern Star for over 30 years and had been a member of the Pomona Grange her whole life. Millie enjoyed helping friends and relatives by taking them to doctor's appointments and grocery shopping. She checked on "older folks" who were often much younger.
