I first met Ellen Miller in 1981 through my later to be husband Robert Miller, who was a shirtail cousin of some kind. Ellen became a dear friend. She was a character with an enthusiasm for life, a doer, and took me all kinds of places I would not have found by myself. Ellen was fun, a good friend and possibly the most stubborn person I have ever known. I will miss her a lot.

Please accept our deepest condolences on the death of your beloved aunt, Ellen. She was a great neighbor for over 35 years, and both Mary and Vito Sessa have known her since childhood. They have fond memories of Ellen, as well as other family members who knew the Miller family from DeKalb St. Her death is a loss to us personally, as well as to the block and the neighborhood.



Please notify us of any planned memorial service. Our prayers are with you. Take care.
