Mildred "Millie" Albrecht died on Thursday May 9, 2013 at JFK Medical Center, Edison, NJ. She was 101 years old. She was born in New York City and resided in Pennsylvania before moving to the Avenel section of Woodbridge Township over 70 years ago. Millie worked for the Woodbridge Township Assessors Office for over 24 years. She was a communicant of Saint Andrew's Catholic Church in Avenel where she was past president of the Rosary Society.

Millie had a wide circle of friends. She especially enjoyed her family at Maple Tree Manor in Avenel and was an inspiration to many. Her wit, compassion and wisdom were some of her strong traits. She was a very loving and generous lady and will be dearly missed by both family and friends. Her deep Christian faith and family focus were key strengths throughout her entire life.
