Aimee McLean
Aimee G. McLean of Lima, passed away at the age of 34 on February 19, 2023, at 8:53 am in Mercy Health - St. Rita's Medical Center.
She was born in Coldwater to Ronald & Tamara (Haffey) Boess on January 6, 1989. On October 28, 2022, Aimee married Joshua McLean, who survives at their residence in Lima.
Together, they have five children, Robert LaPoint, Charlee Lafferty, Oliver LaPoint, Rowan McLean, and Gwendolyn McLean. She is also survived by her parents, Ronald (Suzanne) Boess of Celina & Tamara Boess of Celina; her two siblings, Jessica (Mary) Fourman of Miamisburg and Brian (Valerie) Boess of Celina; four step-siblings and their families; aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, as well as her extended family.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents.
Aimee was a 2007 graduate of Celina High School; she then received her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from BGSU. She worked as a nurse at Mercy Health - St. Rita's Medical Center. Aimee was fun-loving and always lived life to the fullest. Her kids meant the world to her as well as her family; she enjoyed attending all of their sporting events and even recently purchased a minivan so she can fulfill all of her motherly duties. Aimee was completely selfless, she had a heart of gold and was willing to help anyone, she had the natural talent of being a nurse and cared for anyone that she could. Aimee always tried her hand as a "green thumb" person, but never had much success; instead, she was known for enjoying coffee, reading a good book, and enjoying the peaceful blessing of naps. Aimee enjoyed DIY and crafting; she was also an avid hockey fan. Aimee's heart and caring spirit are what everyone will remember her by and will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and her patients whom she so generously cared for.
Visitation will be held on Monday, February 27, 2023, from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm at Cisco Funeral Home in Celina.
Funeral services will follow at 1:00 pm in the Funeral Home with Pastor Craig Fourman officiating.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Aimee's children's college funds.
