Mildred “Millie” Koons, 78, of Harrisburg, was welcomed into the arms of Jesus on June 3, 2022. She passed away peacefully in her sleep at home. Born on May 2, 1944, she was the daughter of the late Earl and Pauline (Miller) Potteiger.

She loved The Lord and was a member of Mt. Laurel Church of God for many years. More than anything she was a wonderful wife, caring mother, amazing grandmother, doting great-grandmother, thoughtful sister, and kind friend.
