Margaret R Miller

Margaret R Miller, 92, formerly of Rochester Township passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at Cambridge Village, Patterson Township.
Born in Monaca, Margaret was a daughter of the late Nathan and Margaret Chleba Paliotte. The last surviving member of her immediate family, she was preceded in death by her parents and all of her siblings including her twin sister, Sister Mary Margaret Paliotte, and her brothers Bill, Robert, August "Gus" and Paul Paliotte, as well as her sister Catherine Haney. Her beloved husband, Howard E. "Bud" Miller with whom she shared a blessed union starting in April 11, 1953, at St John the Baptist Catholic Church in Monaca preceded her in death on July 26, 2011 as did her infant daughter, Barbara Ann Miller in 1955 and her daughter Janet M Miller earlier this year.
Margaret's legacy continues through her three sons, Thomas E (Cindy) Miller, Howard E. III (Carrie) Miller and David (Gaylen) Miller. She was a proud grandmother to five grandchildren and a doting great grandmother to six great -grandchildren.
She was raised in Monaca and was a graduate of Mt. Gallitzin Academy in Baden. She was a dedicated employee of Rosalind Candy in New Brighton where she was employed as a clerk and packer.
She was a devout member of Our Lady of the Valley Parish, St Cecilia Catholic Church, Rochester and an active participant in the Christian Mothers of the church. Her faith was evident in her kindness and the way she lived her life.
An avid lover of the outdoors, Margaret had a 'green thumb', which was evident in her beautifully kept flower garden and well cared for lawn.
Friends will be received on Wednesday, Oct 22nd from 9 am at St Cecilia Catholic Church, Rochester where a mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10am. Interment will take place at St John the Baptist Cemetery, Monaca at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a charity of the donor's choice.
