The Clergy, Executive Board, and Members of St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church express condolences to the friends and family of Radmila “Millie” Milivojevic. Memory eternal.
Radmila “Millie” Milivojevic
Radmila “Millie” Milivojevic was born on October 24, 1930, in Kucevo, Serbia, and left this earthly life on October 24, 2025. She was an extraordinary seamstress, master baker, loving wife, devoted mother, and proud grandmother and great-grandmother. Radmila held roles as treasurer and president within the Serbian sisters’ circle, earning the affectionate title of “palacinka queen” among her friends and family. At age 26, she bravely left her homeland to marry Milivoje Milivojevic, who had immigrated to the United States and returned to Serbia to find his wife. Their journey together brought two children, Milan and JoAnn, who were raised to cherish their Serbian heritage through trips to Serbia and learning the language from an early age.
Throughout her life, Radmila was deeply involved in church and community, always nurturing love for her culture and faith. She is survived by her children, grandchildren Michael and Lana, and several great-grandchildren. Her legacy lives on in all those she touched. Radmila will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, and the joy she brought to everyone who knew her.
The family welcomes messages of condolence and gratitude for those who supported and cared for Millie throughout her life.
