Anne Miller's family, her country, and her church were deep and abiding loves. She proudly supported her brothers and husband-to-be during World War II. She assembled airplane propeller blades at Remington Rand, and while selling war bonds she met her husband. She married Samuel in 1946. She actively participated in the Parent Teacher Associations of St. Cyril and Method School and MacArthur School. She and her husband supported the construction and dedication of St. Vincent de Paul Church, Vestal. Further, at St. Vincent she taught in the fourth grade Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) program; she was one of the first Eucharistic Ministers of the parish; and she was a longtime member of the choir, singing at Sunday morning mass. Anne Horkott Miller's legacy is life and love. The more she lived, the stronger she became to life. She sought to follow her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in all her thoughts, feelings, and actions. Now she lives through the Blessed Might of Him. Her family, heart-stricken with her loss, seeks comfort in the promise of Christ.
