Jeffrey Grant Millette, 59, passed away in his home in Wasilla after a long battle with cancer. A private service and celebration of life is Oct. 5 at home in Wasilla. Jeff was born 1953 in McMinnville, Ore., to Theodore and Patrice Millette. He moved to Anchorage with his family in late 1963 — just in time for the Good Friday earthquake.
Jeff worked on the North Slope for Haliburton in the mid-1970s. He later worked for Brady’s Floor Covering for a few years. He retired with honors and a special award from the city of Anchorage after 27 years with the Municipality of Anchorage People Mover.
He is survived by his wife, Carla Sue Farmer Millette; his beloved daughter, Lara Rose Millette; and sister, Patrice Millette Adair.
He and his wife were married 32 years. He loved God, his family, fishing, cooking and a good Star Trek movie. He was kind to others, always helping where needed.
He was preceded in death by his father, Theodore “Ted” Millette Jr.; mother, Patrice Nevada Stewart Millette; and his brother, Ted Stewart Millette.
