Susan Miller Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of Susan Kay Miller announces her passing from complications associated with Alzheimer's disease, on May 1, 2020 at the age of 72 years. Sue grew up on Lake Louise in Lakewood, WA. She attended Thomas Aquinas high school and Gonzaga University before transferring to University of Washington. She pursued graduate courses in Speech Pathology and Audiology at Western Washington University. In addition to being a loving partner, mother, grandmother, and friend Sue enjoyed spending time on the beach and gardening at her home in Tulalip, WA. Sue was an avid tennis player, golfer and skier. Sue also enjoyed traveling with her family and friends and volunteering in the local community. She was involved in the Assistance League, Providence General Children's Association/gift shop, Snohomish County Arts Council/Schack Arts Center, among others. Sue was enthusiastic in her approach to her life and her relationships and cared deeply for those around her. She was a constant friend to many and we will all miss her dearly. Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Peter and Corinne Schueller; and survived by her husband and best friend of 50 years, Ross A. Miller; her children, Jeff Miller (Eva Miller), Kate Miller and Blake Miller; her foster-sister, Julie Cahill Novick; her grandchildren, Ella & Van Miller; and her mother-in-law, Mary Jane Miller. In lieu of a memorial service, her family encourages donations to Seattle Children's Hospital or other organizations that will bring about positive change in your community.

We were sorry to learn of Sue's passing. She was such a sweet lady, and fun to play golf with. Ross was so caring of her. A wonderful soul who will be missed.

I Loved being able to bring activities that brought joy to Sue. She loved planting flowers & helping us get the family dinners set up. Her face would light up when her husband & children came to visit her. She loved white cars and would want to go in the parking to see them. The hard part of working somewhere with people with Alzheimers is having to say goodbye. They are our true friends and this true friend will be missed along with seeing her devoted family.

We remember Sue with so many fun times together as a family, as a couple and with our girl outings. She was always concerned that everyone was included and always added to any fun herself. Rest In Peace Sue, youve had a hard time these last few years and know that your family will never be the same without you and that you will always be remembered by all your many friends.
