Kylie A. Montee

The life of a brilliant light was snuffed out too soon when Kylie Montee’s physical body lost the battle with Ovarian Cancer on Tuesday, November 28, 2023. Her spirit was strong to the end; she kept her sweetness and sense of humor throughout all her hardships.

Kylie was born on March 30, 1988 in Fairfield, California. At the age of 13 she moved with her family to New Plymouth, Idaho. She earned her bachelor’s degree at the University of Idaho before moving to Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 2013 with her immediate family. She would call Oshkosh Home for the rest of her life, where she made many connections and dear friends. She became heavily involved in theater at The Grand Oshkosh, where she spent time in both personal and professional capacities.

Kylie excelled at many different things in life, and loved cooking, singing, playing the violin and guitar, acting, knitting, reading, and making wonderful homeopathic remedies. Her smile sparkled, her laugh was infectious and her voice was uplifting. She warmed the hearts of so many people. Kylie will live on in the hearts of her parents Claudia and James, brothers Tucker and Graham, sister Madison McCarney, brother-in-law Mark McCarney, nieces Claire, Aideen and Everly McCarney, and partner in life Abbi Dusing, as well as all of those who knew and loved her.

A Celebration of Kylie’s Life will be held on Saturday, December 9 at 2:00pm at The Grand Oshkosh. Donations may be made in the form of flowers for her Celebration of Life, or as monetary donations in Kylie's name to The Grand Oshkosh.
