Florence S (Scott) Miller

Florence (nee Scott) Miller, age 85, of Columbia Station, peacefully passed away on October 18, 2023.  She was the beloved wife of the late John “Jack”, to whom she was married 64 years, and dear mother of Chris, Vicki Committe (Jim) and Mary Mulach (Greg).  She was also a loving grandma to Nicole Troup, Michael Mulach, Patrick Mulach, Kevin Mulach, Ashley Weglicki, Elizabeth Miller, Joshua Committe, and Jimmy Committe, and a loving great grandma to Julian and Elijah Weglicki. Florence was cherished as a sister and aunt to many.

Florence’s life was a tapestry of talents and virtues. Besides being the quintessential stay-at-home mom, Florence managed the family business she and Jack started together.  She was an avid seamstress and knitter, making Barbie clothes, family outfits and quilts.  Florence enjoyed gardening, spending summers planting, weeding and nurturing gorgeous blooms of roses, tulips, and peonies.  Florence was renowned for her baking skills.  Her holiday cut-out cookies with buttercream frosting and sprinkles were a crowd favorite and a family picnic wasn’t complete without her delicious chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

It had often been said that Florence had the patience of a saint and a continuous sparkle in her pretty blue eyes.  She was always ready to lend a helping hand at a moment’s notice and dedicated her life to caring for her family.  In 2012, when she received an Alzheimer's diagnosis, it was her family's turn to care for her. Florence believed “God doesn’t give us more than we can handle.”  She proved this to be true with the grace she carried through the course of her Alzheimer’s progression.  Her kindness and sweet demeanor remained a part of her until her very last moments on earth.
