Michele Maire Miller, Age:77

Michele Marie Miller passed away peacefully at the age of 77 on February 22, 2023 at Sunrise Senior Living in Park Ridge, 15 months after entering the memory care unit with Alzheimer’s disease.

Michele was born February 9, 1946 in Oakland, California, and moved with her family as an infant to St. Paul, Minnesota. She married Dan Miller, her husband of 56 years, and the couple lived in Ypsilanti, Lansing and Grand Rapids, Michigan, and St. Paul before settling in Chicago in 1969. They raised three daughters: Nicole, who preceded Michele in death; Jennifer (Joe Teague), and Rebecca (Keith Engstrom). She also is survived by three grandchildren, Zachary Staver; Sarah and Charles Engstrom, and one great-grandson, Ivan Staver.  Michele was devoted to her whole family, loved traveling with Dan, and especially enjoyed eating well with a glass of pinot grigio. 

Michele was passionate about creating art, a true artist.  She was especially accomplished in creating multiple lines of hand-made greeting cards, featuring wallpapers, collage, quotes of famous women, travel and nature.  A graduate of the American Academy of Art in Chicago, Michele’s early career focused on watercolor, pen-and-ink and illustration. Her work appeared in the New Yorker, Gourmet and Saturday Review.  She designed logos and posters for retail stores, and multiple Theatre on the Lake productions.

Family and friends will gather from 2-to-4 pm Sunday, February 26, 2023 at Olson  Burke/Sullivan Funeral and Cremation Center, 6467 N. Northwest Hwy., Chicago.  All are welcome.  We look forward to the sun and warm air at a festive gathering for family and friends to remember Michele on June 10, 2023 at the Miller home and studio.  Additional information to follow.

If you are thinking of remembering Michele to her family, we urge you to donate in Michele’s name to The Village Chicago, a social network of friendship, engagement and services for people over 50, at https://thevillagechicago.org/be-a-donor
