Russell Lester Miller, age 76, of Abbotsford, entered his heavenly home Friday, November 21, 2025 after a lengthy battle with dementia. Under the tender care of Abbotsford Healthcare Center Staff.
The beloved son of Lester and Marcia (Gries) Miller, Russell was born on March 17, 1949 in Neenah, WI. Russell graduated from Abbotsford High School. As a child, Russell spent countless hours helping his father in the Miller family bakery – a calling that naturally followed him into adulthood.
Russell found joy in the outdoors, nurturing his vegetable gardens, biking and casting a line whenever he could. He was fondly remembered for his delightful homemade soups and his perfectly baked Spritz cookies. Russell was a lifelong dog lover, enjoyed crafting and video games. He had a special fondness for Shamrock Shakes. Russell's playful and fun spirit will be missed by all who knew him.
Russell is survived by one sister; Sue (Todd) Buboltz, two nieces: Shannon and Andrea (Michael) Hanson, great niece; Eloise and great nephew; Emmett.
He is preceded in death by his parents.
Funeral Services will be held in the spring of 2026. Maurina-Schilling Funeral Homes are entrusted with arrangements.
