Nancy A. Miller

February 23, 1943 - December 10, 2019

Nancy Ann Miller passed away peacefully on December 10, 2019 at her home in Ft. Myers, Florida with her family by her side. Nancy was born in Johnstown, NY on February 23, 1943, the daughter of Rudolph Smrtic and Elizabeth Rorick. Growing up, Nancy spent summers in Caroga Lake and delighted in spending time with her family and friends on the lake. Later in life, Nancy spent summers with her husband on their boat on the Great Sacandaga Lake and loved to celebrate summer on the water with many friends. Nancy enjoyed music and dancing and always invited friends and other boaters to share the merriment. Nancy graduated from Johnstown High School in 1961 and enjoyed a career at Niagara Mohawk Power Company. She excelled with numbers and took pleasure in bookkeeping. Nancy met the love of her life on a blind date and married Bruce Miller of Gloversville in 1963. Despite sitting on opposite sides of the football field during the Johnstown/Gloversville game, they enjoyed a devoted marriage and celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary last August. Nancy was an owner/operator of Miller Refuse Service in Johnstown for 43 years and Miller’s Grandview Marina in Mayfield. She ran these companies with her husband and children. Nancy loved animals and participated in many fundraisers for the Brennan Humane Society. Nancy is survived by her husband Bruce; her sister, Terry Sedal of Taos, NM; her daughter, Robin Miller of Sanibel, FL; her son, Bruce Miller of Mayfield, NY, one granddaughter, Jordan Miller and two grand-dogs, Kodi and Buster. She also leaves behind numerous loving friends. Nancy was a sweet and compassionate person and will be deeply missed. The family wishes to thank the many caregivers who looked after Nancy. A memorial service celebrating Nancy’s life will be held in the spring. Arrangements have been entrusted to the A.G. Cole Funeral Home, Inc., 215 E. Main Street, Johnstown.
