Farewells & Goodbyes
Milada (Millie) Hasan, 42 of Salinas, California, unexpectedly passed away on March 13, 2023 at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital.
Milada was born on July 14, 1980 in Bulgaria. She came to the United States from the Czech Republic as a young girl and grew up in Monterey. She maintained her citizenship of all three countries with pride.
Millie graduated from North Monterey County High School and proudly continued her education at Dental Laboratory Technology (ext: University of North Carolina) in San Francisco, CA by graduating in the specialized fields of Removable Prosthodontic Techniques, Fixed Restorative Techniques and Dental Anatomy. With her many accomplishments, Millie earned a certificate of completion in Theory and Practice under Sang Jun, CDT from Monterey Academy of Science and Art; Advanced Dental Technology Education from Tennyson Study Club; Dental CAD/CAM and Digital Dental Designer Certificate from Simi Valley Career Institute; Certificate of completion in the three following courses: Health and Safety for Caregiving, Elderly Care and Caring for the Disabled, Caregiving Skills- Dementia Care, and a diploma in Caregiving from Alison Online.
Her career started as a Dental Technologist with Oral Ceramics and Yewon Dental Laboratory (formerly Bay Dental Lab) before successfully running her owner-operated Dental Cosmetics Laboratories out of the Monterey/San Jose areas. She continued her passions by becoming a Contractual Senior Dental Sleep Technologist with Triad Systems International and finally Regional Sales Director, Los Angeles for Panthera Dental. At this time, she started a new career path in personalized caregiving in the Monterey-Santa Cruz counties until the time of her passing.
“You're in heaven, we love you, and we'll see you soon.”
Millie is survived by her mother - Dana Ondracka/ Hasan/ Shaules of Monterey, her father - Ali Hasan of Holland, her step father - James Shaules of Monterey, her aunt - Hana Ondracka/ Loh Skoda of Los Altos, her uncle - Alan Loh of Los Altos, her brother - Karim (Kevin) Hasan/ Ondracka of Monterey, her half sister - Renee Shaules/ Barajos of Sacramento, her half brother- Jeremy C. (Jeremy Jay) Shaules of London, UK, her cousin - Jakob (Jake) Loh Skoda of Maui, HI, and her nephew - Sawyer Ondracka of Monterey, whom she loved so dearly.
She is predeceased by her grandparents - Milada and Zdenek Ondracka of Seaside, CA.
Millie had an incredible capacity for love which she sought and expressed to others. She was encompassed by her faithful Chihuahua - Chandra and Jack Russel mix - Skipper which reciprocated unconditional love.
She would be reading culinary recipes for hours on end and prepare some fantastic meals as cooking was another one of her many passions. While cooking, she enjoyed the music of the Grateful Dead, Johnny Cash, Iz, Bob Marley, and various Indie Rock. She loved relaxing to 14th to 18th century drama movies such as Jane Eyre. Although, her favorite was 'Mankind, The Story of All of Us', because she was enthralled with humanity.
Millie will always be missed with great loss by her family and best friends - Sheri Calvert of Pacifica, Pam Brown of Monterey, David Hutchinson of Marina, and Phillip Emmons of Marina.
Farewells & Goodbyes
