If there’s a charitable event in metro Detroit, there’s a good chance Millie A. Pastor’s involved in it, helping raise money to do good works. Millie is known as a dynamic, energetic and enthusiastic supporter of innumerable charities. She’s donned western garb to raise money to restore and preserve a historic church. She’s helped out the auctioneer as he took bids to raise funds for the Henry Ford Heart and Vascular Institute. She co-chaired a swinging safari soiree to support breast cancer research. Initially educated as a registered nurse, this talented woman later continued her education in interior design. Pastor Interiors, Inc. was established in 1964. As owner and principal of her own interior design company, Millie has worked with clients in Paris, London, and even as far away as Nigeria where she was commissioned to do the interior design for the Saudi Arabian Embassy. Millie is a past president of the Women’s Division for Project Hope, the American Lung Association, and Artrain. She is a member of the corporate board of the American Lung Association and is on the board of trustees for community care for the Henry Ford Health System.
