Millie Perri, devoted wife of Nat (Natale), cherished mother of Natalie (Tony), Michael (Denise), and Rosemary (Chuck), loving grandmother of Steven (Caitlin), David (Caitlin), Matthew, Anthony, and Jennie, and great-grandmother of Landon, Logan, and Leia, passed away gently on December 24, 2025, at the age of 94.
A gentle soul with a heart full of kindness and quiet grace, Millie lived a life woven with love—expressed in the simple, tender moments that meant the world to us. She offered a listening ear, a comforting embrace, and a welcoming presence that made everyone feel at home.
Her family was her greatest joy. Her home was filled with warmth and a sense of belonging, where laughter lingered, and love flowed freely. She nurtured those bonds with everyday gestures: a shared meal, a thoughtful visit, a kind word, or just being there. She gave of herself with endless patience and joy, never seeking recognition, but always ready with open arms.
We hold her memory close with deep gratitude for the beautiful moments we shared. Her gentle love has shaped our lives and will continue to inspire us, like a shining star guiding the way.
In lieu of flowers donations to The Highland Oaks Nursing Home, 2750 Highland Ave. Elgin IL 60124 in Millie Perri's name appreciated.
