Mildred “Millie” Reichard

Mildred “Millie” Reichard, 83, passed away peacefully on March 30, 2022. Born in Easton, PA on November 5, 1938, she was the eldest child of Eva (Potts) and Charles Todaro and proud older sister to her beloved surviving siblings; Joan Foerster and her husband Ed, Marian Arcury and her husband Don, and John Todaro and his fiancé Karen Roebuck. 

Millie often reminisced about her happy childhood on Mercer Street in Phillipsburg, with many aunts, uncles, and cousins nearby. She attended Phillipsburg Catholic School, and shared fond memories of walking each day with neighborhood classmates and always looked forward to participating in school theater and musicals. After graduation, she began a secretarial job at JT Baker Chemical where she met her future husband, Thomas Reichard, who preceded her in passing and with whom she has now reunited.  

Millie and Tom were married for 48 years and were blessed with five children that they raised in College Hill and Forks Township. Their home was always open to all, and was filled with many pets, laughter, and music. A devoted mother and homemaker, Millie also held several jobs at which she made many lifelong friends. Among them were Olivet Wee Care Day Care Center, Tommy’s Hoagies and Northampton County Courthouse, Prothonotary Office. 

Millie was very involved in her church, Our Lady of Mercy, where she was a Lector, Church Greeter and member of the Women’s Guild and the Bereavement Choir. 

She will be remembered for her calm demeanor and steady warm smile, measured wisdom, patience, and her often surprising sense of humor.
