Anne Miller

Anne (McQuilkin) Miller, 92, of Bingham, Maine passed away Thursday, December 26, 2024 at Sebasticook Valley Hospital in Pittsfield. She was born in Solon on May 14, 1932, the daughter of Maurice and Abbie (Wiley) McQuilkin. On November 25, 1948 she married Merl Miller of Bingham. They shared 57 years together and had 8 children.
Anne's life work was in the home. Family was very important to her and she looked forward to having everyone together. She particularly enjoyed hosting the family on Christmas Eve. "Come early and stay late" was her mantra.
Over the years Anne spent her time supporting the family with whatever was needed. In addition to raising her own children, she often looked after grandkids, raised puppies, helped on the farm, supported her husband's work and sold grain. Her baking was second to none. Homemade bread, donuts and pizza was always in high demand.
She was modest and didn't ask for much. She was selfless and was always willing to share whatever she had with anyone that needed it.
Anne is predeceased by husband Merl; children Joyce Bigelow, Keith Miller, Maurice Miller and an infant son who died shortly after birth; grandchildren Gilbert Bigelow, Keith Miller, Jr. and Rebecca Bigelow; siblings Oscar McQuilkin, Phyllis Knowlton, Ernest McQuilkin and Priscilla Frederick.
Anne is survived by daughter Sheila Perkins of Brunswick; sons Darrell Miller of North Anson, Keven Miller and wife Kelly of Bingham, Eric Miller and wife Cynthia of Bingham; grandchildren Abbi Miller, Julie Owen, Wade Perkins, Heidi Seely, Amanda Hines, Athena Miller, Alicia Miller, Nikki Miller, Dustin Miller, Trisha Miller, Trevor Miller, Richelle Atwood, Hallie Miller, Jillian Miller; 18 great grandchildren and one great great granddaughter.
The family would like to send a special thanks to the staff at Sanfield Rehab and Living Center in Hartland who provided excellent care to Anne for the last 3 years as well as all of the doctors and staff who contributed to her care in recent months.
