Rose was born on Jan. 7, 1923, the daughter of John and Wilma Ruest. Rose was preceded by William L. Miller, her husband, and two sisters.
Rose married Bill Miller at St. John’s Church, Brunswick, on Aug. 10, 1946. She was also a lifelong member of St. John’s. Rose graduated from Brunswick High School and lived in Brunswick for all of her life. She loved gardening, music and spending time with her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Rose was loved and will be missed by many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
Rose cared deeply for her family and friends. She took in younger family members whenever there was a need, never asking for anything in return.
