Kelli Ann McMillan

The family of Kelli Ann McMillan announces her peaceful passing on December 22, 2025, at the age of 61, surrounded by loved ones, family, and friends. Kelli was born on January 28, 1964, in Battle Creek, Michigan, to Milton "Mick" McMillan and Eudora Jean McMillan. She grew up in Muskegon, Michigan, where she spent her life and where she passed away. Kelli had a lifelong love for music, especially 1970s rock and the music of Elvis Presley. Nothing brought her greater happiness than spending time with her grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She was deeply devoted to her family and will be remembered for her loving heart, strength, and the joy she brought to those around her. Kelli was preceded in death by her mother, Eudora Jean McMillan; her brother, Anthony McMillan; and her sister, Shelly McMillan. She is survived by her father, Milton "Mick" McMillan; her stepmother, Sandra McMillan, both of Muskegon; her daughters, Jen (Bruce) Rupright of Muskegon and Sarah (Erik) De La Rosa of Muskegon; and her cherished grandchildren, Wesley Ware, Mackenzie (Richie) Williams, Landon De La Rosa, and Avani De La Rosa, and great grandchildren Brayden, Emery and Remington Williams, all of Muskegon.
She is also survived by brothers, Mike (Rose) McMillan of Muskegon, Mark (Amanda Sollid) McMillan of Webberville, Jason (Jaimie) McMillan of Point Blank, Texas, sister, Brandy McMillan of Ravenna; stepsister, Tammy (Earl) Beam of Muskegon; stepbrother, John (Nancy) Sanders of Muskegon; many beloved nieces and nephews; extended family and dear friends; and her special furry buddy, Angus, who brought her companionship and comfort. In a final act of selflessness, Kelli chose to donate her organs, giving the gift of life to others. A Celebration of Kelli's Life will be held on what would be her 62nd birthday; January 28, 2026, from 4-7, open house style, at McGraft Park Community Center 2204 Whickham Dr. Muskegon, MI 49441.
Kelli will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all whose lives she touched.
