April 5, 1931 - July 10, 2018
With deep sorrow, the family of Marie Miller announce her passing on Tuesday, July 10th in Cranbrook, British Columbia at the age of 87.
An Alberta farm girl at heart, Marie was born in Hines Creek to Steve and Catherine Zeleniuk. She spent her childhood and early adult years in Fairview where she met and married Dan Miller in 1956. Marie and Dan started their family in Dawson Creek before settling in Cranbrook. Throughout the years, Marie had a diverse career in teaching, banking, and business. With their extended family, the Miller's built and operated the Cranbrook Trailer Court from 1972 to 1991.
After retiring from the family business, Marie lived an active life competing in curling and bowling. She loved working around the garden, exercising, and had a passion for line dancing and country music. She will always be known for her social and bubbly nature. Marie often organized trips to the United States and Alberta with her friends and loved spending time with her grandchildren.
She will be remembered and cherished by her two children, son Randy Miller (Paola) and daughter Karen Jensen (Brian) along with her six grandchildren Devon Davies (Bryan), Taylor and Hunter Miller, Jaxon, Makenna and Jordan Jensen. She is survived by her sisters Kari Zeleniuk and Jean Nielsen, and several nieces and nephews. Marie is predeceased by her parents Steve and Catherine, her sister Christine, and her brother John.
