Muriel Clara (nee Geiger) Miller, age 93 of Pompton Lakes, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, May 30, 2012.
Muriel is survived by her son Dr. Gary Miller and his wife Laura, her daughter Barbara Miller, and her daughter Debbie Deraney and her husband Hank, three grandsons; Hank III, Jim and Daniel Deraney, and her sister and brother-in-law; Grace and Jim Meyer. Her oldest sister Lillian and grandson Greg Miller predeceased her.
Muriel was the second of three daughters born to Frank and Camille Geiger and grew up in Bergenfield, NJ. She skipped first grade and graduated from Tenafly High School in 1936. On a blind double date with her best childhood friend, she met her soon-to-be husband Walter Miller, Jr. of Butler, NJ. Walt was drafted into the Army following the bombing of Pearl Harbor and they were married after he attended boot camp in February of 1942. He served under General George Patton at the Battle of the Bulge, where he was wounded and awarded the Purple Heart.
After World War II, the Miller family moved to Butler, where they raised their three children. Following the death of Walter in 1976, Muriel took a job working for the president of Galesi Realty, a prominent local real estate development company.
Muriel had a great love of travel and enjoyed many years of traveling both in America and Europe, with trips to Hawaii, England, Ireland, Scandinavia, Greece, Portugal, and Italy.
In Lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, Church Street Station, P.O. Box 780, New York, NY 10008-0780.
