Tami Alicia Millan, 37 years young, passed away on November 29, 2021 from various health conditions related to breast cancer. She passed away at home surrounded by her husband and children. She joins her twin daughters, Hope and Faith, in heaven. She is survived by her immediate family of her husband and six children, as well as other family members from the Midwest and West Coast.
Born May 12th, 1984, as Tami Alicia Windler, she grew up in Kansas City, Missouri with her parents and older brothers. Due to some family issues, she spent the majority of her teenage years living in various family and foster homes. It was during that time when both her parents and oldest brother passed away. She continued living in the foster care system until aging out when she turned 18.
She married her husband Jeffrey Paul Millan on July 26th, 2002. Because of her time in foster care, and after being told she couldn’t become pregnant, she and her husband vowed to become foster parents and adopt children. The Lord changed those plans by allowing them to become pregnant and giving birth to Natalie in November 2003. Lucas followed in February 2007. In September 2008, they gave birth to Hope and Faith, conjoined twins who survived only a few hours after birth. Aaron was born in December 2009, followed by Emily in October 2011, Bennett in April 2014, and Lily in July 2019. Tami lived for her children, homeschooling them and training them on the things of life.
Tami desired to be cremated and did not wish to have a public service. In lieu of sending flowers, Tami wanted everyone to stop and enjoy their loved ones more than normal, to choose forgiveness over anger, and to seek the Lord and serve him unconditionally.
The world is less kind now, but heaven has gained a strong, faithful soul.
I only knew Tami for a few years but will cherish the time we spent together. She loved her family fiercely and I admired her for that. My love to Jeff & the kiddos – Leslie

Tami and I spent many hours discussing our love our families and raising our children. We would often laugh at what we perceived as each other’s idiosyncrasies and loved each other even more for it. Tami was among my first friends in VA many years ago. She will always be a part of me and a piece of my heart will always be with the beautiful family left to mourn her.
I will miss my friend for the rest of my days.
It was such a blessing to meet the family through AHG. We sure miss the girls. We pray you are comforted by wonderful memories during your time of grief.
What a beautiful testimony of this sweet woman’s life! I am thankful to have gotten to know Tami. Her dedication to her family and her joy in their presence was evident. She will be sorely missed.
thinking of Tami tonight and remembering the kindness in her eyes, the sweetness of her voice, the thoughtful intent of her words, the patience of her heart, for the endurance of her faith. She taught me about the power of forgiveness and that joy can exist in great suffering. I love and miss her dearly, and that extends to her sweet children who will always have a piece of their momma to share with this world. I am here for your Jefferey and kids.
