-Sales-
Kathie Mills- “I have been in sales with First State Chevy since 2002. A big part of being able to sell for General Motors is to keep my certification current through going to training classes, passing tests, and most importantly: “Customer Satisfaction”. I am a lifetime resident of Sussex County, graduated from Bridgeville High School and graduated with a 4.0 in Accounting from Delaware Technical and Community College. My husband John and I live in Laurel, Delaware and I have two sons and three grandchildren who all reside in Laurel. I enjoy working with people and spending time with my family.”
