Rebecca S. Millard

Rebecca S. Millard, 72, of Gainesville, died on March 20, 2023.

Becky was born in Van Nuys, California and moved to Atlanta in 1963. She experienced a wonderful Catholic education, attending St. Jude the Apostle Catholic School and St. Pius X Catholic High School. After graduating from St. Pius, she attended St. Joseph’s Infirmary School of Nursing. Following graduation, she worked as a surgical nurse at the Atlanta Eye Hospital. Becky also worked side by side with her husband Robin at Millard, Inc. Architects.

A loving mother, Becky sacrificed daily to raise four boys, putting them through Catholic schools in Atlanta. As her sons grew up, Becky renewed her love of water sports, which included water skiing, swimming, and especially rowing. They began as exercise and became her passion. Becky was a long-time member of the Lake Lanier Rowing Club Racing Team. Becky was preceded in death by her parents, Carl P. Setili and Florence D. Setili, and by her sister Susan Setili.

Becky is survived by her husband of 52 years, Robin J. Millard of Gainesville; her sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren Matthew Millard (Grace and Will), Marcus and Laura Millard (Peter and Mary), Douglas and Marcy Millard (John and Katie), and Thomas and Lauren Millard (Evelyn and Henry), her brother Robert Setili and sister-in-law Amanda, their two daughters, Lee and Alison.

Mass and Celebration of Life will be held at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 3740 Holtzclaw Rd., Cumming GA on Wednesday, April 19, 2023 at 11:00 AM. Visitation with the family will follow the Celebration of Life Mass.
