Antoinette M. Miller

April 26, 2018 By Hans Funeral Home 3 Condolences

Antoinette

GUILDERLAND – Antoinette Marie Miller (nee Caimano), passed away quietly on April 25, 2018 in Albany, N.Y. at the age of 95.   “Etta” was born June 13, 1922 in Albany into her family of five sisters and two brothers.  She was married to George Norman Miller of Albany (1922-1971) in 1944.  Antoinette worked for the IRS after graduating from Cathedral High School, transferring to the Army Air Corps during WWII.  She and new husband George were stationed in Tuscon, Arizona where she did clerical work.  At the close of the war, Antoinette traveled by train from Tuscon to Albany, pregnant with their first child “Tom”.  After raising three children, she returned to work and ultimately retired from the state of New York.

Antoinette enjoyed a long, healthy life filled with family and friends, living in Guilderland since 1961.  She traveled to Europe twice, Hawaii a few times, the Caribbean as well as most of the US mainland.  Always welcoming visitors, her cooking, hospitality and friendly smile will be remembered by many including the 100 or so who attended her 90th birthday party!

She is survived by her daughter Susan Miller Colthurst (Eric) of Northville, Michigan; and sons George Thomas Miller (Debbie) of Cornville, Arizona, and Steven Miller of Manitou Springs, Colorado, seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren.  Antoinette is also survived by her sister Elizabeth DeFrancisco and by a few score of nieces, nephews, cousins, and their families, everyone of whom she loved and loved being part of their lives.

Funeral services will be held in the Hans Funeral Home, 1088 Western Ave., Albany, Saturday morning at 8:15 a.m., and from there to All Saints Catholic Church, 16 Homestead St., Albany (behind CVS) at 9:00 a.m.  Relatives and friends are invited, and may call at the funeral home Friday from 4-7 p.m.  Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery, Glenmont.  To leave a message of condolence for the family or obtain directions to the funeral home, please visit www.HansFuneralHome.com.

    Dear Ginny,
    Please accept my sympathy at the time of the death of your dear Aunt. I was happy to get to know her during her time at St. Peter’s Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Etta was a very sweet woman!
    I am sorry that I am unable to attend her wake or funeral. Hopefully we will meet up again some day soon!

    Dear Susan, George (Tommy) and Steven,
    I am Dona Marie (Nielsen) Munro and I was saddened to learn of your Mom’s death in yesterday’s paper. I have fond memories of your family growing up on Bohl Avenue. Your mom was a great cook and whenever she made her wonderful bean soup I would smell it cooking and follow my nose up the back stairs and “visit”. Your mom always had a bowl ready for one of our chats.
    Whenever I would see your mom out and about through the years she always gave me one of her beautiful smiles and took the time to chat. She was a very special lady. She will be missed.

    Dear Susan,
    What a beautiful photo of your Mother! I was sorry that I was unable to join you for Etta’s Mass today. I am glad that I met you and that I was able to spend time with Etta for Hospice over the past few weeks. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, especially for your surgery.
    Love,
    Sister Mary Frederick
