Millie Mae Burdette Kuhn Van der Wiel, loving Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Sister and Friend, passed away on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 after a brief illness.
Millie was born on December 3, 1923 in Alderson, West Virginia, one of eight children born to the late David Oscar Burdette and Nettie Mae Burdette.
Millie was a member of First Baptist Church and was faithful in her service. She was a member of the Agape – Fidelis Sunday School Class and volunteered for The Family Life Center for many years. She loved taking her nieces and nephews shopping when they were little and the trend continued with her grandchildren. Millie loved spoiling everyone!
During Millie’s lifetime, it was always her desire to take care of others. She owned and operated the Charleston Boarding House on Quarrier Street in downtown Charleston, West Virginia. It was then that she met the love of her life, Paul Kuhn, Sr. They married and later moved to Clearwater, Florida where they raised three boys. At that time, Millie also managed “The Jack Tarr Hotel”. She loved her position at the Hotel and was excited when the agent of one very famous dolphin by the name of “Flipper”, made reservations to stay in the Hotel for a couple of weeks while doing a photo shoot. Millie made sure her children were there to greet him, as well as her niece and nephew from Gainesville, who happened to be in town at the time.
Millie was preceded in death by her husband, Paul Dwight Kuhn, Sr. She later married Jacob Van der Wiel, whom also preceded Millie in death. Millie is survived by her three sons, Paul Kuhn, Jr. & his wife, Jane and granddaughter, Taylor Kuhn of Chestnut Mountain, Roy Kuhn & his wife, Sabrina of Lynn Haven, Florida, granddaughter & husband, Lauren & Carlos Dias, great-grandson, Braeden Dias of Palm Coast, Florida and Charles Kuhn of Chestnut Mountain, sister, Madeline Burns of Charleston, West Virginia, a number of nieces & nephews, great-nieces & great-nephews, as well as special friends, Mary Nell White and Joan Maddox, who cared for her so passionately during her illness.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, December 16, 2010 from 6 – 8 pm at the funeral home. Funeral services are scheduled for Friday, December 17, 2010 at 11:00 am in the Chapel of First Baptist Church in Gainesville, with interment to follow in Memorial Park Cemetery. Dr. Bill Coates and Reverend David Matthews will officiate.
The family would like to thank everyone including Willow Wood Nursing Center and Crossroads Hospice for their wonderful care and concern during Millie’s illness. In lieu of flowers any remembrances you wish to make can be made to First Baptist Church, 751 Green Street, Gainesville, GA 30501.

Memorial Park Funeral Home, 2030 Memorial Park Road, Gainesville, GA 30504 is in charge of arrangements.3,4 
Burial*17 Dec 2010 Her body was interred on 17 Dec 2010 at Gainesville, Hall Co, GA, at Memorial Park Cem.4
