Mrs Miller lived in Woodbury for the last 18 years, moving from Redding where she had lived since 1956. She worked for many years as a doctor’s assistant in Redding.

She enjoyed reading biographies, doing crossword and jigsaw puzzles, painting watercolors, and golfing. The modified stock car #11, out of Wells, Vt., was a source of special pride to her. She took pride in the accomplishments of her family and friends. She especially loved to make people happy and had a smile and kind word for everyone she met. Her sense of humor and generosity brightened many people’s lives.
