Marian was a longtime member of the Brookfield and Danbury Women’s Club. She was known for her passion to sell Poinsettias every Christmas, loved to entertain, and never missed an event her children participated in. Everyone knew Marian was coming when they saw the bright orange Corvette pulling in.
Spending time as a family was most important to her whether it was at home or on a special new adventure. She cherished an annual trip to Rhode Island that was a family tradition. She always loved her family and friends for being by her side unconditionally.
In addition to her husband, John, she will be missed by her sons, Sean Miller and his wife, Tina Marie, Shannon Miller and his wife, Kathleen, her daughter, Stacy Miller and Dickie Murchison.
