Milli Brogan passed away in her husband Bob’s arms peacefully on Saturday morning Feb 10, 2018 at the age of 80 in her home in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. 

Milli was born on May 9, 1937 in Somerville MA. She was the daughter of the late Joseph and Tina Dionne, sister to Mary Hayes. Milli is survived by her loving husband Bob who received her total love and devotion. They celebrated their 64th anniversary on Dec. 12, 2017.

Their journey in life together and love story began as neighborhood children, Millie age nine and Bob age 11. They were married at ages sixteen and eighteen with hearts totally committed to each other.  They spent many years as residents of Chelmsford, MA and Merrimack, NH, and more recently have spent their winters in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.

Milli’s joy was her family and there was no place more special than her home.  She will be remembered by her beautiful smile and baby blue eyes. She was naturally artistic and expressive, had a beautiful sense of style, a deep compassion for the elderly and infirmed, and touched many with her kindness and generosity.  Her friends appreciated her gift of conversation and depth of understanding.  Milli had a special place in her heart for nature and her flower gardens.  She was a life-long lover of all animals, but especially dogs.

She is also survived by her two loving children: daughter Darlene (husband, Glen Wills) of Bedford, NH and son Mark (wife, Becky) of Merrimack NH.  

Millie’s life was blessed with five wonderful grandchildren: Kristina Houde (husband, Ricky Houde), Heather Brogan (partner, Rich Dimare), Kathryn Bigbee, Ryan Brogan (wife, Molly, daughter due in Spring) and Erik Wills.  Her three precious great-granddaughters are Ava, Sophia, and Lila.
