Marion Miller Minewski

BERLIN — Marion Miller Minewski, 91, died Sept. 12, 2005, at Woodridge Nursing Home in Berlin.

She was born July 29, 1914, in Munich, Germany, the youngest child and only daughter of Charles G. and Maude Adair Miller. She grew up in Connecticut and attended Dana Hall and Katherine Gibbs schools. She was married to Alex Minewski in 1945 and was later divorced.

A lifelong artist, Marion was a potter, sculptor and painter. She lived and painted in Paris in the early 1950s and in New York City from 1951 until moving to Vermont in 2001. At the young and impressionable age of 87, she adopted and provided for several hundred of Vermont's woodpeckers, goldfinches, cardinals, squirrels, chipmunks and a few turkeys and raccoons.

A Zen Buddhist, she was a lover of all creatures, great and small, especially cats. She was passionate about politics and traveled extensively to Europe, East Africa, Japan, Cambodia, Thailand and Singapore. Her more recent travels were her daily walks on Berlin Pond and the Montpelier Bike Path topped off with a creemee.

She was blessed with exceptional caregivers as well as the attentive staff at Woodridge Nursing Home.

Survivors include her brother, Adair Miller and his wife Judith; nephews, Adair Miller, Jr., Bryan Miller, Conrad Miller and Charles Miller; niece Chesley Miller, several great nieces and nephews and cousins. Two brothers, Guy Miller and Charles G. Miller predeceased her.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please contribute to your favorite charity.
