Camille Faith Green, lovingly known as Millie, was born on June 23, 2011, in San Antonio, Texas. She was a daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, teammate, neighbor, and friend. More than anything, she was deeply loved.
Camille was kind, patient, curious, artistic, funny, thoughtful, and full of love. She noticed people. She cared how they felt. She brought a quiet tenderness that made others feel seen and safe. She had a way of making people feel something they could not always explain, like a hummingbird that visits on a rainy day. She brought wonder, calm, and peace. When she was near, you knew you were touching something beautiful in this world.
Camille loved animals, Taylor Swift, cheer, her friends, her cousins, and her Champion Cheer family. She had just made varsity cheer, a moment that reflected her determination and the joy she found in being part of something she loved. She also loved her daughter cat Nala, dogs Sammi, Gracie, Pepper, and the animals who were part of her life.
Camille’s family was the center of her world. The four of them, Scott, Brea, Livi, and Camille, shared a bond that was greater than the sum of its parts. Each brought something unique and irreplaceable, and together they created a home filled with laughter, patience, tenderness, music, inside jokes, movie nights, pranks, hugs, and unending love.
Camille and her mom, Brea, shared a bond built on tenderness, strength, and determination. Brea poured love into Camille in ways both big and small, and Camille carried that love with her always. Camille had Brea’s steadiness, her heart, and her ability to persevere with grace.
Camille and her dad, Scott, had a relationship all their own. They shared “couch potato” movie nights, a special handshake, and a rhythm of humor and love that belonged only to them. Scott brought out Camille’s playful side, and Camille brought out a joy in Scott that is found only in fairytales. Camille’s sister, Olivia “Livi,” was her best friend; a soul sister in every way. They elevated the mood in every environment they touched; always planning something sneaky, creating breakthrough dance moves, or preparing for that next adventure. Livi helped Camille with cheer tryouts, decorated her wheelchair after an ankle injury, and stood beside her in the way only a sister and best friend can. Livi was that steady north star inspiring Camille in everything she did.
Camille loved a good plan, planning mischief with Aunt Beth, getting Aunt Brooke to learn trending dance moves or pulling a prank on Uncle Timmy. She had the ability to turn ordinary days into family stories that will be with us forever. Camille also had an entrepreneurial spirit. She and Livi started several business ventures, including a dog walking service, a YouTube channel called “Livin’ It Up with Livi & Millie,” and an online store called “Rock Candy Girls.” Most of the ventures lasted about three weeks and made a total of $39, which only made them more perfect.
Once, Camille showed up at neighbors Pam and Terry’s house with bare, dirty feet and a mop. She knocked on the door and said, “I have a cleaning service. Want me to mop your floors?” That was Camille. Creative, brave, funny, and completely herself.
She was fiercely loyal. She loved her friends, her cheer family, her cousins, and her people. She was part of a tight-knit squad and had a gift for making others feel included. She brought warmth without trying. She made people feel close to her.
Camille gave her heart to the Lord at twelve years old and remained steadfast in her faith. While she will be missed, her family finds comfort in knowing she is now at peace in the presence of the Lord. Her faith was gentle, sincere, and woven into the way she loved. She lived with a softness that made people better. She cared in ways that reached beyond words.
Her family will continue to feel Camille’s once-in-a-lifetime spirit in every hug, every laugh, and every gust of wind that blows across the rolling hills of Texas. They will feel her in music, in animals, in sisterhood, in movie nights, in pranks, in quiet moments, and in everything they do.
Camille is survived by her loving parents, Scott and Brea Green; her sister and best friend, Olivia “Livi” Green; her grandparents, Grandpa Hughey Green, Penny and Mike Neeley, and Michelle and Mark Ulrich; her great-grandmother, Audrey Lackey; her aunts and uncles, Chris and Jessica Green, Tim and Tracy Green, Keith and Deb Green, Brooke and Paul Kirchoff, Beth and Aaron Patrick, and Jennifer Whitmore; as well as numerous cousins, close friends, neighbors, and her Champion Cheer family.
She was preceded in death by Grandmother Kathy Green, Great Grandparents Jane and Bill Ulrich and Larry Lackey, Aunt Baylee Ulrich, Cousin Vikki Andrews, and her beloved dogs, Gracie and Pepper.
Camille’s life was short, but her love was enormous. Her impact has been life changing for everyone. She will remain with all of us – in every moment – when love feels bigger than what we can see. It will be Camille smiling, dancing and blowing kisses in our lives.
