Anne ‘Carol’ Miller, age 69 of Lincoln Park died on Sunday November 18, 2007.
Born in London, England, Carol’s childhood was certainly not typical. At six years old she was sent with her four year old sister to live in an orphanage outside of London to spare them from the German bombing campaign that was ravaging London. After the war her father was a British Diplomat, which afforded the family the opportunity to live all over the world. She finished high school in Japan and achieved two Masters Degrees here in the United States; one in nursing and another in psychiatric nursing. Her favorite place to have lived and worked however, was Australia. She worked as a Midwife there, primarily working in Melbourne and also in the Outback. She was dedicated to her nursing profession and naturally enjoyed helping everyone she could, including friends and family. She worked at Greystone Psychiatric Hospital, both as a nurse and administrator, for 30 years and she is also a member of their Longevity Club. She retired from nursing in 1997.
She was a very active member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Mountain View Chapter 205 in Wayne, and held dual membership in the Little Falls Chapter 224. Carol and her husband Walter (1987) had also been very active as members of the Salaam Shrine Temple in Livingston, NJ, where they belonged to the Motor Corp. Most Shriners will remember Carol in the ticket booth at the Shrine Circus, where she sold tickets every year for many, many years. She was also a member of the “Red Hat Society”, a social group of ‘55 and over’ women who met regularly for lunch.
Although Carol enjoyed collecting plates and crystal as a hobbie, she most enjoyed spending time on her 33’ Chris-Craft; “MZ. Behave”. She loved to cruise on her boat whenever she had the time.
She is survived by one sister, Jean Pierotti Lewis of Western Supr Mare, UK; one neice, Eirwen “Ellie” Lewis, of Somerset, UK, and one grand-nephew, Rhys Lewis also of Somerset, UK. two step-children; Walter Miller of Bricktown, NJ and Emily Hodge of New Pelham, NH. Three granddaughters; Tracey Kubat of Pt. Pleasant, NJ, Susan Fenlator of Wayne, NJ, Linda Donnelly of Brick,NJ. Three grandsons; John and Jim Hodge of New Hampshire; Tony Ludlow of Nv. and nine great-grandchildren, Christopher and Sarah Kubat of Brick, NJ and Jazmine and Angelica Fenlator of Wayne, NJ, JT, Anthony, Elizabeth, Liam and Hannah Hodge, all of New Hampshire and two great-great-grandchildren, Delaney of California and Belle of Louisiana. Dear neighbors and devoted friends Judy and Nicholas Koldyk were very close with Carol for the past 30 years. Carol treated their children, David Koldyk and Kerri Palen, as if they were her own grandchildren, and Kerri’s children, Nicolas and Zachariah, as if they were her own great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband, Walter, in 1987.
