Lois Milligan, a longtime resident of Warwick, NY, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on May 5, 2020. She was 79 years old.

Born on November 29, 1940 in Paterson, NJ, she was the daughter of Eleanore (Mann) and William DeFreese.

Lois was married for 50 years to Sidney Milligan, who predeceased her in 2010.

A family statement reads, “Lois was a wonderful and loving mother, who always put her family first. She was always there to lend an ear or give advice. Her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids were her life. She will be greatly missed.”

Lois is survived by her children: Belinda DeGroat and her husband Lance, Tuewana DeGroat and her husband Leo, Jackie Milligan and her husband Melvin Spencer, Jeremy Milligan, and Travis Milligan; fifteen grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband; daughter, Tereasa Milligan; and son, Frederick Milligan.

I would like to create a memorial page

Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated . Your services to George and our family were above and beyond our expectations. Thank you never seems sufficient when the situation appears and is often overwhelming. Your concern for us and our guests will never be forgotten.

... throughout these back to back losses, your gracious concern and professionalism made the time special.

.. not only are you the best - but the town / village of Warwick respects you very much. All with good reason.

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for making Mom’s Memorial Service a success. We appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail.

I believe Mom would have been very pleased with the whole production. Thanks again for making Mom’s day a special memory for our family and friends.

Thank you for all your kindness, compassion and walking me through this very difficult journey with ease. The services were perfect and beautiful because of you. You are very special people and I will never forget you.
