MILLS --
LEROY B. Was born May 17, 1915 and died January 15, 2012 at home after a brief illness. He is survived by three daughters, Robyn Story of Cortez, Colorado, Carol Mills of Rio Rancho, NM and Lois Mills-Brogan of San Marcos, California, their husbands; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. A Kansas native, his parents homesteaded west of Craig, Colorado when he was a small child. His parents did not stay long and moved to Anaheim, California where Leroy was raised along with four brothers and one sister. They lived raising farm animals, orange trees and furniture moving business with an old 1930 Ford open bed truck. Leroy graduated from Anaheim High School, where later he was able to enjoy attending his 50th reunion. He attended Pacific Bible Seminary in Long Beach, California where he graduated in 1938. He married his college sweetheart, Mary Kay Friend in 1936 in her hometown Albuquerque at the First Christian Church on Broadway and Central. The two became church planters, starting three churches in Southern California. Then in 1940 they moved to Texhoma, Oklahoma to minister to the First Christian Church there. They left to start a church in North Albuquerque in 1943 purchasing an old saloon-dancehall on Griegos and Second Street. The dancehall was made into a sanctuary and the saloon area along with the kitchen became their home. Leroy ministered there for 19 years. The building and addition are still being used as a church to this day. After leaving the Second Street Christian Church, he ministered to a church in Grants, NM commuting there weekly on weekends. In 1965 he started a church on North 4th Street in Alameda which moved up to Rio Rancho in 1966 becoming the Rio Rancho Community Christian Church where he ministered until he retired in 1980. Still not tired of doing God's work, he moved up to Parachute, Colorado to minister in a Christian Church there during the shale-oil drilling period. Finally in 1991, Leroy retired again with his wife, Mary Kay and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in Rio Rancho. They became founding members of Covenant Christian Church in Rio Rancho and enjoyed traveling to see grandchildren and family until Mary died from colon cancer in 1991. He later married a widowed close friend of theirs, Marilyn Nolan in 1993 enjoying her companionship until 1997 when she also passed away after a fight with cancer. Leroy loved the outdoors throughout his lifetime. He loved to camp, go hunting and especially fishing taking pleasure in teaching his daughters and grandchildren how to fish. He would go deep sea fishing in California whenever he went to visit his family. He volunteered as Dean, counselor and teacher at Sandia Christian Camp in the Sandia Mountains. Leroy supplemented his income by establishing a tile and floor covering business called "Mills Tile." He was a hard worker and wasn't afraid to share his faith with his co-workers or people around him giving his testimony while on the job. The family would like to express a special thanks to Hospice of New Mexico and "Home Instead" for their care and support during his illness. Memorial contributions may be made to Covenant Christian Church,6380 Iris Road NE, Rio Rancho, 87144, Hospice of New Mexico, 4015 Carlisle Blvd Ne, Albuquerque, NM 87107 and Hope University (formally Pacific Bible Seminary in Long Beach, CA), or donate a goat or chicken through www.MercyCorps.org serving poor populations around the world.

ULLRICH --
TREVA CUNNINGHAM One of America's Sweethearts has gone to be with her sisters and husband, no doubt to join them on a favorite Caribbean Cruise. Treva Leota Ullrich passed away January 19, still strong and stunning at 96, leaving us all with aspirations to be more like her. Truly sweet, gracious, thankful, classy and full of the extraordinary Southern charm she never lost, we cherish the memories of her sparkling blue eyes and endearing smile. She was indeed beautiful, inside and out. Treva was born in October, 1916, in Manchester City, Tennessee. She was the middle sister of three, all characteristic southern names: Alta, Treva and Oma. Her father farmed corn with his brother Dee, perhaps to make bootleg whiskey, until he was saved from accidentally driving off a cliff--a message from God, he felt, that made him convert, enter a seminary, and become a Methodist minister when Treva was 12. A strong, proud, loving and dignified man, he raised his girls to believe that, "The only hand you will ever need is at the bottom of your sleeve." Their inherited, fierce independence made them incredible role models for all us. Treva grew up traveling to church services along backwoods Tennessee roads in a horse and buggy, until her dad worked his way up to larger metro churches and an automobile. She grew up in Nashville, attended secretarial school, and took a job in Washington D.C., where she met a handsome man in an army uniform. Leon Ullrich swept her off her feet, married her, and after he returned from overseas took her to St Louis for a few years and then moved her to Albuquerque in the late 40's to be near his parents in Roswell. The Ullrich's had two children and built a red brick house near UNM where the kids could walk to elementary, junior high and high school. Leon worked his way up to full Colonel at Ft Bliss and Sandia Base and then retired. Treva and Leon traveled to Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Germany together. They threw great parties, loved to laugh and entertain friends, played a lot of cards, and entertained us all until his death in the early eighties. Treva soldiered on, becoming good at Bridge and great at being a grandmother, enjoying family, friends, wine, ribald toasts, and incredible physical health well into her nineties. Treva is survived by her son, Duane Ullrich; daughter, Debbie Johnson; granddaughter, Nica Marez; grandson, Destry Ullrich; great-grandson, Evan Marez; great-granddaughters, Alana and Kiera Friedman, and granddaughters, Leslie Johnson and Lauren Hegna. She has beloved nieces in Nashville, Lavon Knies, Barbara Wilkins, Teresa Kearns and Diane Hall, as well as several great nieces and a nephew. She was an Honored Lady of Ballut Abyad Shrine and a proud member of Beta Sigma Phi sorority, and leaves behind dear and lifelong friends within. All of us who love Treva are grateful for the kindness and support she was given in the last years of her life from the great folks at Manzano Del Sol, SolAmor Hospice, super helper Elsie Davis, and the incredible team of angels with Sandy Green at Parkland Circle. Services will take place at French Mortuary, University Chapel on January 17 at 11:00 a.m. She and Leon will be reunited at the Santa Fe National Cemetery following the service at 2:15 p.m. Please visit our online guest book for Treva at www.RememberTheirStory.com.

A 1945 graduate of South HS in Columbus, Ohio, he served in two theaters during and after WWII. After marrying Ruth Fladt in 1948, he completed his education by earning a BS degree in Education from Capital University (Ohio) in 1951 and a Master's Degree in Physical Education from Ohio State University in 1954. He entered the field of education and coached athletics beginning in 1951 and continued his lifelong pursuit of educational excellence with full-time positions in Dayton Ohio and Gallup, NM. Even during retirement he continued to serve as a substitute teacher. His sixty-year educational career was capped by the award of the Doctor of Education degree from the University of Cincinnati in 1978 and his selection to serve the Gallup-McKinley County NM school district as the Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Education. Tom was a lifelong advocate for vocational instruction and was instrumental in the development of computer science applications in the classroom and various trades programs. As a coach Tom provided exceptional guidance and successful leadership to teams for 22 years. He coached football in St Mary's, Ohio, Belmont High School in Dayton Ohio and for the University of Dayton's junior varsity squad. Since semi-retirement in the 1990s, Tom and Ruth were actively engaged in their passions of travel, camping, family, gardening, and church activities. As a member of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Los Lunas, NM, Tom chaired the committee that led to the design and current construction of a new church facility that will serve the community for many generations to come. He also served the congregation as the Bishop's Warden and in various other leadership capacities. He is survived by his wife, Ruth; their three children and spouses; and four grandchildren. Two of those families, Kenneth and Mary Vincent and Barbara and Steve Neumann, live nearby in New Mexico, while Karen and Jack Kruse live with her family in central Ohio. The grandchildren, Jonathan Vincent, Megan and Rachel Kruse, and Kyle Neumann, have all enjoyed lifelong happy relationships with their extraordinary grandpa. A celebration of this humble and gifted man's life will be held in the spring at his home church. The date and other details will be published later.
