Obituary of Margaret Miller

MILLER, Margaret Lillian (Morine), 90, died peacefully on August 28th 2013, in Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville. Born in Bear River East, February 11, 1923, Margaret was the youngest child of Walter R. and Susan (Pulley) Morine. Margaret was a graduate of the Provincial Normal College in Truro and taught in the Victory and Woodlawn Schools. She later graduated from Miss Murphy's Business College, working first for Eaton's in Halifax and later at the newly established DND Naval training base HMCS (later CFB) Cornwallis. She retired from "the base" in 1987. Margaret was a faithful worker and supporter of community efforts in South Milford. Along with her late husband, Bud, she will also be remembered by scores of guests whom she made welcome at the Milford House in South Milford. No one will miss her more, however, than her daughters and grandchildren, whom she loved and encouraged all their lives. Margaret is survived by daughters Linda Miller, Halifax NS, and Lt. Colonel Wendy Rickards (Jim), Unterammergau, Germany; grandchildren Simon Amero (Angelie), Port Alberni BC, Jay Amero, (Callonie Roy), Liverpool NS, Sarah Solomon (Kurt), Williamswood NS, and James Rickards, Germany; great grandchildren Jacob Amero and Kourtney Solomon. Also surviving is her sister Ruth Hood, Yarmouth NS. Margaret will also be missed by many dear sisters-and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews. Margaret was predeceased in November 2005 by her husband of nearly 54 years Warren J. (Bud) Miller. Besides her parents, and her beloved son Warren Jr. she was predeceased by her brother Harry Morine and dear sister Louise (Morine) Penny.
