Obituary

Oscar Mills of Akron, OH went home to be with the Lord on October 13, 2022.  He was born April 1, 1929, in Fletcher, North Carolina to Minnie King and Otho Mills.

He attended Hower Vocational High School, where he studied auto mechanics and graduated from McKim's Technical College where he studied radio and tv repair.  He served in the U.S. Army, fought in the Korean War, and was honorably discharged in 1953.  He worked at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company for 42 years and retired in 1992.  He was a devoted member of Second Baptist Church where he served in the food pantry for many years.  In his free time, he loved to travel.

Uncle Oscar, as he was affectionately called by his nieces and nephews, was known to be well dressed and always present to celebrate our achievements and there to comfort us in times of sadness.  You could also count on Uncle Oscar to have a witty remark or two.

He was preceded in death by his parents Minnie King and Otho Mills, sisters Elsie Allen, and Eva Mills, brothers William T. Mills, Charlie Mills, James A. Mills, Edward Mills, Sr., Otho Mills II, Hubert Mills, Eugene Mills, and stepson Dwight Oldham.  He leaves to cherish his memory, former wife Johnnie Mae Mills, stepsons Ronnie Oldham and Gary Oldham, a host of nieces and nephews, and special friend Mildred Barnes.
