Eleanor Millonzi was born in Michigan in 1912, and lived and raised her family in Buffalo. She was committed to civic activity, with an emphasis on the arts. She served in a variety of volunteer leadership roles with the Arts Council of Buffalo and Erie County, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Amherst Saxophone Quartet and many other non-profit. Her husband, Robert Millonzi, was a 1935 graduate of the UB law school. Both actively supported the university.
