Millouise Barrett died on Sunday October 4, 2105 deprived utterly of peace at the last.
The daughter of Attorney William Farrell and Mildred L. (Mulvey) Barrett. She was born in Lowell on May 31, 1932.
Millouise was a graduate of the Moody Junior and Lowell High Schools. She received a bachelor's degree from the Lowell State College and a Master's degree from Fitchburg State. She was first an elementary teacher in the Lowell school system. A Master's degree in Library Science from Simmons College led to a career change, initially as librarian at the Rogers School and later Lowell High School.
Millouise might have remained exclusively a Lowellian had she not discovered the early sixties lure of the Cape: the peace and contentment of life at her second home in West Yarmouth, a stones throw from favored Sea Gull Beach.
In retirement time stretched there from the first warm day in May to the bluster and chill of January and beyond, all of it the most enjoyable of her life.
She prized travel as well: islands in the Caribbean, London and the theatre; Scotland's Edinburgh and St. Andrew's; the nordic countries' Stockholm and Oslo, all of happy memory; yet Ireland only once!
Rarely a joiner, she was a very private person and an independent spirit.
Millouise is survived by her sister, Elizabeth A. Tully; her nephew Andrew Wm. Tully and his wife Sandra and their children Lilly and Vincent Richard Tully.
Millouise was a member of the Immaculate Conception Parish.
