Mildred Gloria Wolak, "Milly" entered into rest on September 13, 2024,
in her Walsenburg Colorado home with her family by her side.
She was born to Myra and Dale on January 28, 1933, in Illinois.
Milly was the loving matriarch of her family and is survived by her
daughter Daina (Bea) and her daughter in love, Susan. She was the
cherished grandmother to Jessica (Jeremy), Elizabeth (Clayton),
Kourtny (Matt), and Michelle. Milly was the proud great-grandmother
to Lilly (Thad), Autumn, Payten, Camryn, Italia, Marcelino, Weston,
Sloan, and Emmi. She was the best big sister to Gwen and her baby
brother, Butch. She is also survived my many nieces and nephews
who lovingly call her Aunt Punk!
Milly is preceded in death by her loving husband of 70 years, Norman Wolak,
her sons, Dean and Aron, parents Myra and Dale.
She was known for her feisty, loving, caring, athletic, ornery, and funny
personality, which endeared her to many throughout her life.
Milly married the love of her life, Normie, on August 29th, 1953.
They moved to Gunnison Colorado where they began their family. After a
few years in Gunnison, they moved to Walsenburg Colorado. Milly
worked alongside her Normie for many years at their credit bureau.
She was a well know and much-loved resident in the community.
An avid sports enthusiast, Milly enjoyed playing softball and volleyball
in her younger years and never missed watching a football game or
cheering on her favorite baseball team, the Chicago Cubs.
