Mildred Millie Bellet was born to her parents Lucille Elias and Manuel Frescas on November 27, 1943 in Salinas, California. From an early age, she was raised by her Mother and Stepfather, Ceasar Freitas. Mildred married her first husband, Larry Lane in Oakland, California in 1961. The first and second of their four sons, Greg and Darin, were born in the years following. The family moved to Spokane, WA in 1969 to be closer to her parents-in-law, and bought their first home across from Harmon park in Hillyard. Millies parents soon followed the move north to nearby Morgan Acres. After their move to Spokane, Millie gave birth to her third and fourth sons, Sean and Chad.
In 1986, Millie was remarried to her current husband of 31 years, Joseph Bellet.
