Amelia Mae Subich Obituary
Amelia "Mia" Mae Subich, 7, of Lake Zurich, passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on November 21, 2024. She was born on February 24, 2017 in Hoffman Estates to Aaron and Anna Subich.
Visitation will be Tuesday, November 26, 2024 from 1 PM until 8 PM at The Orchard Church, 1301 S Grove Ave, Barrington, IL 60010. A Celebration of Mia's life will be on Wednesday, November 27 at 10 AM, also at The Orchard Church. Burial will be held privately.
Mia knew that Jesus loved her, died for her, and rose again so she could be right with God and live forever, and she enjoyed talking to God and giving to others. Mia was that rare person who truly, unequivocally loved every kid she ever met; she loved all her school, church, camp, and neighborhood friends equally.
She especially had a heart to include everyone and naturally had a way of connecting and even reconnecting. She talked about one day wanting to be a dress designer, a camp counselor, and a gym or recess teacher. It was a normal part of her day in school, time at church, Awana, or just playing in the park for her to hear a loud "MIA!" because she was so endearing to those that knew her.
When she wasn't loving and playing with other kids, she showered that love on Barbie dolls and other dolls, and her 3 Barbie houses were among her most treasured possessions (which she 'usually' shared with her sisters).
She often asked to ice skate, usually led family dance parties in the kitchen, was always up for a swim, loved watching Ohio State games with Dad, doing crafts with Mom, was always the first one done with dessert (to go play), and never left any bacon or candy leftovers (unless she knew someone didn't have any).
Her favorite time every day was at night being read a book in her bed by Mom, after reading the Bible and praying with her sisters and parents.
Her two worst moments in life were hearing she had to leave to come home from Kanakuk Family Camp (a Christian summer camp/resort in Missouri), and learning she had to wash off her tiger face paint after a work party of her Dads.
Mia is survived by her Parents, Anna and Aaron, and her two sisters, Abigail (9) and Aliyah (2). Mia was all of their favorite middle child in the whole world and was so loved and wanted.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Mia's favorite place in the world, Kanakuk at https://kanakuk.com.
