Monica McQueer, beloved daughter of Kevin and Mikki, passed away suddenly on September 23, 2026. Born on May 19, 1986, in Traverse City, Michigan, Monica's life was a testament to love and selflessness.

Her life was guided by the values of her heritage, always placing family and community at the forefront of her actions. Her big heart and generous spirit meant she would help anyone in need at any time. To Monica, family was not just defined by blood but by the bonds she built with many friends, whom she cherished as her own family. Monica's legacy lives on through her three children, Kevin (KJ), Phenox, and Koriannah, whom she adored and dedicated her life to raising with love and care. Her longtime partner, Doug Hammon, was her steadfast companion, sharing countless moments of joy and laughter.
