Sally Miller, age 85 of Wayne, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 22, 2014. A resident of the Packanack Lake section of Wayne since 1958, Sally moved to Cedar Crest Village in Pompton Plains in 2010.
Sally was raised in Upper Montclair, New Jersey graduating from the Montclair Kimberly Academy in 1946. She attended Skidmore College in Saratoga, New York where she was a member of the field hockey team and earned her Bachelor's degree in Physical Education. Upon graduation in 1950, she began a career as a physical education teacher at the Brearley School in Manhattan. With the birth of her daughter Susan, she became a full-time mom and supported her children and the community at large as a Softball Coach, Brownie Leader, Den Mother and general volunteer whenever she was needed.
Sally enjoyed participating in many sports and activities and had a great love for skiing and golf, which she continued to enjoy throughout her life. In the 1950’s, she was a member of the Montclair Ski Club which took regular trips to Mad River Glen, one of the most challenging ski mountains in Vermont. It was on one of these trips that she met her husband, John(Jack) Miller, Sr. and their first date included a round of golf. This was just the beginning of many years and countless rounds of golf that the two would enjoy together.
After marrying on June 23, 1956 Sally and Jack bought a home in Packanack Lake and became involved in the many activities the community has to offer. They were among the founding members of Packanack Lake Golf Club and enjoyed participating in the many social activities and tournaments sponsored by the club. Always a gracious competitor Sally won the Woman's Club Championship several times over the years. When not on the golf course, Sally could be found rooting for her beloved New York Yankees or Giants.
Vacationing on Cape Cod with family and friends was time she treasured, marking nearly fifty years in Dennisport, Massachusetts without missing a one. You would be hard pressed to convince her that there was any more special place than the Dennis Seashores beach where she could be found, enjoying a good book, chatting with the gang as she rode her float in the Nantucket Sound or taking a sailboat ride with one of her children. Sally and Jack spent many retirement winters in Siesta Key, Florida which was arguably their second favorite place to take in the sun and play a round of golf. They enjoyed fifty four years together before Jack passed in 2010.
Sally was a dedicated member of Packanack Community Church participating in the Women's Guild and serving as a Sunday school teacher. Even after moving to Cedar Crest Village, she would make the drive to Packanack Lake every Sunday to attend church. She was also a devoted grandmother to her four grandchildren always proud and interested in their activities and accomplishments. They will all miss her dearly.
Sally is survived by her daughter Susan Clark and her husband Bill of Kinnelon, her son John Miller, Jr. and his wife Shirley of Sparta, and her four grandchildren; Lee and Chris Clark of Kinnelon, and Katharine and Amy Miller of Sparta.
