Dr. Millie Beane was the Director of Music at Carter Church for many years and retired from the position in 2017. However, this spring the SPRC invited Millie to return to the church for an interim year as the church transitions to a new pastor and moves from online worship to in-person worship. Millie directs the Chancel Choir, whose singers participate in worship every Sunday from September through June, and the Joyful Ringers, who play for Sunday worship approximately once per month. As a choral conductor, Millie conducted concerts by the Interfaith Choir in Needham numerous times; she also directed the Seminary Singers of Boston University School of Theology for twelve years. In addition, Millie served as a public school administrator for the Needham Public Schools, retiring in 2006. Millie and her husband Earl live in Linden Ponds, an independent living retirement community in Hingham. Earl sings bass in the Chancel Choir. Millie and Earl's daughter Ruthie and her husband Reggie have twin girls, Cece and Jackie, now nine and in fourth grade.
