a school nurse in New Jersey with the Cape May County Special Services 
School. Mrs. McMillan excelled in her profession, she went on to work 
as a nurse at the Atlantic County Jail, and also became the supervisor 
and director of nursing at Harborfields Juvenile Correction Facility.

frequently serving as an advocate for female inmates in county jails.
  In addition to her lifelong service in her community, Mrs. McMillan 
volunteered her time with several organizations, including The Red 
Cross, The Advisory Commission on the Status of Women and the American 
Association of Retired People.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, Doris B. McMillan leaves to cherish her legacy 
a host of friends and family members, including her beloved son,
