Virginia Beach—The world lost a little kindness when Estella Miller passed away at the age of 94 after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimers and Parkinsons Diseases.
Family was everything to her and she lived her life unselfishly committed with uncompromising dedication to her family. Estella was preceded in death by her loving husband, Junius Miller. Working side by side and overcoming tremendous challenges, they built a successful business together. They lived a terrific and humble life together and as long as they had each other they never wanted for anything. She was tremendously creative and resourceful. On her own she studied passive solar concepts and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and with only a high school education was able to design and personally oversee the construction of a unique personal residence. She was a genuine good person, never spoke badly about anyone and made everyone she came in contact with feel special.
She is survived by her two sons, Baron and Jerry (Missy); granddaughters Jenny Sanford (Stephen), Jackie Willcox, Dana Amurial (Guy) and grandchildren Riley, Ragen, Blake, Logan, Kaitlin (Logan), Eli & Aliyah and great grandchild Finn.
The family would like to thank those special staff members at Beth Sholom Village who treated Mom with such care and dignity. She was fondly referred to as “Goodie, Goodie” around the Beth Sholom complex. The family asks that memorial donations be made to a charity of your own choice.
A graveside service took place at Princess Anne Memorial Park in Va. Beach. Online condolences may be offered to the family at hdoliver.com. A memorial celebration will be held at a later date.
