Mildred "Millie " Isabel Moniz McIntosh, age 96, of Nashville, Tennessee passed away to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Thursday afternoon, August 3, 2023, in her apartment with her grandson, Matthew Roley, by her side. Mrs. McIntosh was born in Hamilton, Bermuda on September 19, 1926. She was the beloved daughter of Manuel and Isabel Moniz of Paget, Bermuda, and loving sister of Joyce Audrey Jacome, of Warwick, Bermuda.
As an 18-year old student, at the height of World War II, Millie attended Atlantic Union College in Lancaster, Massachusetts. Upon graduation, she moved to Washington D.C., and in 1957 married Robert Neel Roley, who had four children from a previous marriage. In 1959, Millie proudly became a naturalized citizen of the United States. She excelled as an executive secretary and maintained that professional role throughout her career. In 1967 the Roley family moved to Bloomfield Township, Michigan, and continued her executive and administrative duties with several companies. Robert died unexpectedly in 1969.
Millie married William Crane McIntosh, a father of four as well from a previous marriage, on September 1, 1979, and lived in Birmingham, Michigan. Shortly, thereafter, they moved to Evanston, Illinois, and after 30 years and retirement, relocated to Nashville, Tennessee. William passed away in 2016.
Millie is survived by her loving sons and daughters, Jeffrey (Trudy) Roley, of Indiana; Scott (Linda) Roley, of Tennessee and New Mexico; Laurie (Ray) Louis, of Arizona; Mary Elizabeth (Robert) Landau, of Washington; William Charles (Melanie) McIntosh, of South Carolina; Bruce (Denise) McIntosh, of Michigan; Margaret Blandford, of North Carolina; and niece, Donna (Danny) Mello, of Bermuda.
Her wonderful, loving legacy lives on in the lives of her 19 adored grandchildren (everyone her favorite); 33 precious great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; a grand niece and nephew; and a great-grand nephew. Up until the end, she knew each child by name and would exhibit great joy when they would call or visit her.
Millie was preceded in death by her mother and father; her sister, Joyce, (who passed away in March 2023, at age 99); her husbands, Robert Roley and William McIntosh; son, Douglas McIntosh; daughter-in-law, Delores McIntosh; son-in-law, Raymond Louis; and a great-grandson, baby boy Roley.
Millie's family offers their appreciation for the wonderful and loving care demonstrated by the staff of Clarendale at Bellevue and Hearts and Soul Hospice. She adored you, and your heartfelt messages of care and tenderness given to family members following Millie's passing will always be treasured. Indeed, all of us, family, friends and staff, were beneficiaries of Millie's love, affection, and grace.
Memorials in Millie's name may be made to The Franklin Table (a mid-Tennessee ministry) and your local Salvation Army. Although there is no visitation, a memorial service will be scheduled later in the Fall.
