KENNEBUNK- Christy Lou Milliron, age 60, passed away in Hollis on July 25, 2019.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our precious Christy.
Christy lived in Pennsylvania, Canton, NY, and moved to Maine where she lived for forty-seven years. With great pride, she graduated from Biddeford High School in 1979.
She lived in group homes and her own apartment for many years which gave her, her much loved independence.
Everyone who had the pleasure and privilege to meet Christy left a better person. She was full of love and life and made everyone around her joyful.
She made us better people sharing her life with us. She was the light of her father’s eye.
She loved music and was always singing at the top of her lungs. She rode her bicycle from morning to night and all the neighbors in Sylvan Circle found joy in watching her.
She was very proud of her Special Olympic medals and wore them splayed across her chest for months.
