Mimi's Bio
B October 26, 1935
D September 12, 2009
Mary Beresford Candee was born in Los Angeles to James and Florence Candee, and two sisters, Connie and Julie. The Candees lived on Tica drive, not far from Griffith Park. Mimi graduated from John Marshall High School and went on to nearby Occidental College. She had three children by her marriage to Herb Crockett.
Mimi reunited with her high school sweetheart, Roger Miller, and married him on March 30th, 1964. After moving to Whittier, California, they welcomed a new child, and began attending St. Matthias Episcopal Church, where they all grew together as a family. Mimi started the North Whittier Prayer Group which spawned the conversion and spiritual development of numerous Christians.
She loved the ocean, and enjoyed music, singing, tennis and reading. Vacations were spent swimming at La Jolla Shores beach, and fishing in Idaho. Mimi faithfully served as a Daughter of the King, Lector, Choir Member, Lay Eucharistic Minister, and a leader in the Curcillo movement.
About twenty years ago, she and Roger moved to Teakwood Ave. in La Habra, attending Emmanuel Episcopal Church, where they joyfully celebrated life in God’s presence. Roger and Mimi were blessed with forty-five years of marriage.
Mimi was a loving mother and an inspiration to all her grandchildren. Her capacity to give love and empathy through the grace of God knew no bounds. She was loved by many in return, and we can be certain that she is thriving in eternity.
