Deborah Gloria Miller, lovingly known as "G" or "Auntie G," was born on February 8, 1938, in Manchester, Jamaica, to Clarence Williams and Wilhelmina "Zada" Powell. She was the Eleventh child of twelve children.
She was educated at Robins Hall Primary School in Manchester. In her early years, she moved to Kingston, where she lived first with her sister Evelyn, and later with Lucille. She worked for approximately 20 years as a presser at Jamaica Outerwear Manufacturing Company before migrating to the United States. During this time, she met her soulmate, Hubert Miller, whom she later married after relocating.
Upon her arrival in the U.S., Deborah worked as a home attendant, later joining the staff at Woodcrest Center as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) for two years. She eventually accepted a position at Preakness Health Care Center, where she remained until her retirement.
Deborah was a devoted and nurturing mother, stepmother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was also a beloved sister, aunt, and loyal friend to many. Her warmth, generosity, and unwavering love left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.
