Watching movies on the Hallmark Channel was another love of hers. She could watch the movies over and over again and still cry at the happily ever after endings.

Miller and wife Karen (Peel) Miller; daughter-in-law, Diane (Pellegrino) Miller; grandchildren, Blake, Jace and Kira Miller; sister, Janice (Capoferri) Sudzina; nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great nephews.
