Rosetta Miller Obituary

MILLER--Rosetta. The Board and staff of the World Monuments Fund are deeply saddened at the sudden loss on Saturday, February 17, of Rosetta Miller, the beloved wife of our longtime trustee Sam Miller. Inimitable and full of life, Rosetta lit up any room she entered. The party did not begin until she and Sam arrived. One of the most enthusiastic supporters of our preservation work in Angkor, Cambodia, Rosetta led her friends on visits to review the progress, and began WMFs Adopt a Garuda program to support local training and conservation work at Angkor. The first monumental Garuda at Angkor to be adopted, Rosetta Garuda, was named for her. WMF is deeply appreciative of her endorsement of our work around the world and of the generous and irrepressible spirit she brought to every aspect and every moment of her life. We will sorely miss her. A memorial service is being planned by her family. We send our deepest sympathy and love to Sam and the family. Bonnie Burnham, President, the World Monuments Fund; Marilyn Perry, Board Chair; the Board, and all the staff of WMF across the globe.

I was fortunate to first become acquainted with Rosetta in January of 1980, and then actively for about 2.5 years when I was employed as Director of Public Relations @ The Newark Museum. I will always remember her vivacious and charismatic personality and how she could bring a smile to anyone's face. I am deeply saddened by her passing even though the last time I saw her was in 1982. The last time I spoke with Rosetta was about 3-4 years ago on the telephone. My deepest condolences to her wonderful husband Sam Miller.
