Feb. 3, 1953 - Oct. 23, 2024

On Oct. 23, 2024, Milly Bilderback, age 71, peacefully passed into the arms of her Lord.

Born on Feb. 3, 1953, in Jackson, Ore., Mildred (Milly) MacEachern was the beloved daughter of Claire and Robert MacEachern. Milly’s journey led her to Canada, where she married and welcomed her two children, Jenna Kadatz and Steven W. Kadatz.

After several years, she returned to the United States, living in California and enjoying a career in nursing. After retiring, Milly moved to Oregon before finding her home in Greybull, Wyo.

On May 20, 2012, Milly married David Allen Bilderback. Together, they shared a deep love for the outdoors, embracing many hiking and kayaking adventures. Milly had a profound affection for animals, especially her cats Penny and Tiger, and found joy in capturing nature’s beauty through photography.

A devout follower of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Milly cherished her time singing and playing the piano with various church groups, like the Psalms Choir, bringing joy to many. 

Milly is survived by her loving husband, David Bilderback; her children, Jenna L. Gedney and Steven W. Kadatz; her stepchildren, Deeanne K. Bilderback and David A. Bilderback Jr.; her grandchildren, Kayla (Moogie) Holland, Alora (Peanut) Gedney, Selia (Squishy) Gedney, and Adam Kadatz; and her great-grandchild, William Holland.

Milly will be deeply missed by all who knew her, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and a profound appreciation for the beauty of life.
