Janet Miller Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 21, 2025.
Janet Miller, 76, of Hudson, New York, passed away on June 6, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana. A lifelong resident of Hudson, Janet was born there on February 8, 1949.

Janet dedicated many years of her professional life to the New York State Comptroller's Office, where her commitment and diligence left a lasting impression. Beyond her career, she was deeply involved in her community and faith. A devout sister in the Jehovah's Witnesses, Janet's spiritual devotion was a guiding force throughout her life.

Her generosity extended into volunteer work at the Hudson Area Library, where she gave freely of her time and energy. Her selflessness and thoughtfulness were hallmarks of her character-she consistently placed the needs of others before her own and offered unwavering support to those around her.

Janet is lovingly remembered by her sister Estelle Council and husband Kenneth Council; brothers Russell Taylor and wife Linda Taylor, and James A. Miller; nephews Michael and Jason Miller; niece Carmen Vaughan; grand-nieces Laelah and Samirah Council; as well as a large extended family of cousins, grand-nieces, grand-nephews, and friends who were touched by her kindness.

She was preceded in death by her sisters Dorothy Miller and Gail Rucker; nephews Christopher Phillips, Patrick Council, and Matthew Council; niece Rachel Johnson; parents Charlotte Miller and James H. Miller; along with many beloved aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Janet was a special sister, aunt, and friend whose devotion to family ran deep. Her memory will continue to inspire those who knew her.

In honor of Janet's legacy of service and love for learning, donations may be made to the Hudson Area Library.

May her memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her. A Memorial Gathering will be held on July 27, 2025, at 12:30 PM at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses 391 Fairview Ave

Janet is sadly missed by all in our ERP Admin group, although in my case she was always picking on me for never seeming to do any work, as her timing was always impeccable where I "would" be standing around when she showed up. I had told Janet that I was an avid movie collector so she would bring me in bags of surplus movies that the Hudson Library were selling off at a dollar a movie. A great deal so I bought quite of lot of movies from Janet. Considering she had to get the bus into work every day, an hour and a half each way I believe, and she is hauling those bags of movies in was quite an amazing thing that she did. She was also a prolific reader, and I enjoyed quite a few conversations regarding books that she'd read. RIP Janet!!!!

Janet was such a special part of the State Comptroller's Office Community. She served on countless teams and committees and was always volunteering to do more. My favorite story about Janet was the time she was supposed to bring in bagels for a Volunteer Team bake sale, but it ended up being the day of a huge blizzard. But Janet wouldn't be deterred, she still took the bus into work through the snow, even though it took twice as long to get to Albany as usual. The storm was so bad that they eventually suspended bus service and Janet was stuck in Albany. But that didn't bother her, she decided to walk through the snow to the train station to get home. Thankfully someone saw her walking and gave her a ride to the train station. It would seem crazy to anyone else to go through all that for bagels, but that was the kind of person Janet was. She had such a big heart, and if she could do something to help someone else, that became her priority over all else. She will be so dearly missed. Rest in power, sweet lady!
