Millie daughter of John and Irene (Grandchamp) Simon was born June 7, 1939 in Blue Island, Illinois. She was raised in Blue Island where she was baptized and confirmed into the catholic faith and attended grade and graduated from catholic high school. Millie was united in marriage to Karl Arthur Grimm on Aug. 17, 1957 in Harvey, Illinois. The couple started their life together in Chicago, and eventually moved with their children to Wisconsin. They had lived in Stratford, Wisconsin Dells, Augusta and Fall Creek before moving to Texas. In 1990 the Grimm family moved back to Augusta.

She had worked as a cook at Gutches Supper Club in Fall Creek, in the dietary department as a cook at both the Augusta Area Nursing Home and the Dunn County Healthcare Center in Menomonie, and in housekeeping at the Clairemont Nursing Home in Eau Claire.
Millie's life revolved around her family and it was the love for her family that kept her fighting through all her various health issues. She loved the many camping trips she had with her children and cherished the time spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren who were so important to her. Before her eyesight failed due to diabetes she spent hours crocheting and playing cards. Millie had loved to read and could still enjoy her books by listening to them on tapes. She had also looked forward to her local casino trips and finding another elephant to add to her collection.
