Obituary For Kelly Anne Milligan
Kelly Anne Milligan
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Kelly Milligan, age 54.
Kelly was born on December 6, 1970, in Weymouth Massachusetts, to Dale (LeVangie) Whittaker and William F. McFarland, Jr. She graduated from Abington High School in 1988, and went on to earn a degree in Early Childhood Education from Bridgewater State University in 1992. Kelly spent years working in childcare and went on to own and manage Lasting Impressions in Abington. Afterward Kelly spent time working in the service industry. Kelly deeply enjoyed supporting and caring for others. Kelly had the biggest heart of gold and led with selflessness.
Those who knew her will remember Kelly for her generous heart, infectious laughter, and the way she always put others before herself.
Kelly was preceded in death by her parents, Dale and David Whittaker. She is survived by her daughter, Madison Milligan, former husband, Kevin Milligan, father, William McFarland, Jr., siblings; William (Colleen) McFarland, III, Stephen (Michaella) McFarland, Laura (Jason) Cody, Scott (Kaila) McFarland, and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance.
Kelly’s legacy of kindness, hard work, generosity, integrity, and love for others will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Kelly’s family invites friends and loved ones to celebrate her life in the Magoun-Biggins Funeral Home on Sunday, September 7, 2025 from 4:00-7:00 PM. A Funeral Mass will be held in the Holy Family Church on Monday, September 8, 2025 at 9:00 AM.

We are Kelly Anne's grandparents. We have lived in Florida for the past 30 years but have visited our loved ones in Massachusetts many times. We lived in MA during her childhood and spent time with her and her family. Kelly was always cheerful and full of love. Our hearts were broken to learn of her sudden death. We join all the people who will miss our beautiful niece.

Billy, Colleen, & Maddie we are so sorry for your loss! We have lived next door for 30 yrs. and can truly say we have loved your family for that time! Dale & David were friends of ours. As well, Kelly gave birth to Maddison close to that time. In fact, a couple years in, we needed expensive day care. Guess who saved us? Back then, Dale worked on Kelly's books. We trusted her with our previous cargo. Through many years, Bob & I remained close to you all! Seamus was the same age as Bobby (Declan). Our love tried to help David and Kelly. We will remember forever! We do love you all! Colleen, Bob, Kat, Declan, & Az Monahan

Kelly was always filled with energy. She was always on the move. Always, kind, caring and friendly. We met when Kelly was coaching our daughters during middle school for Hanover cheerleaders. I so sorry Maddie. Kelly and I later worked together on a project for almost 5 straight years. I'm so sad to hear of her loss, too young, too soon.

Ever since I always looked forward to working with you and you became one of my favorites. You were my girl man. When you see I was down you knew, you would find a way to comfort me always. Sundays were our days💔.It will not be the same. To my favorite coworker/friend Kelly I will cherish our friendship and our memories together forever sleep peacefully, it's not a goodbye but a see you later. Gonna miss your sweet face Love you always!!!!!

Kelly, I still can't believe this is real, although I only knew you for a couple years, you had an impact on my every day life! You knew what to say and how to say it in any situation! To the hard days, to the fun days we always had a blast!!! We made the best out of any situation!!! Sundays were the best days!!! Gong to miss the car washes in your side yard, too sitting out front in your very tall grass just chit chatting or, our very long phone conversation!!!! Kelly you were one of a kind and you will be missed by many!!!! Fly high Kelly.... We love you!!! 🤍
