Eulogies

The Young Family

Family and friends, we are gathered here to celebrate the life of Mila Young, a person whose warmth and kindness left an indelible mark on everyone they touched. Born in 1934 and raised with strong values, Mila grew into someone who embodied compassion in every sense of the word. Whether at home, at work, or in the community, Mila had an uncanny ability to make every person feel seen and valued.

Throughout their life, Mila gave generously — of their time, their laughter, and their love. They were the first to arrive when help was needed and the last to leave when someone needed comfort. The world of Milwaukee, WI is quieter without them, but the echoes of their kindness will never fade.

As we say farewell to Mila Young, let us remember not the loss, but the extraordinary life they lived. May we carry forward their example — to love deeply, serve faithfully, and leave every room a little better than we found it.
