Viola "Sue" Miller

Viola S. Miller (Hall) passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on August 30, 2025. She was 76 years old. Viola, better known as Sue by her friends and family, fought a short battle against stomach cancer. Sue was the daughter of the late Benton and Sophia (Dalton) Hall. She was born in Laurel Fork, Virginia and was proud to be the only child born in their family homestead before relocating to New Jersey. She was a Woodstown High School graduate of 1968 and luckily married the love of her life, John Miller, in that same year. The two spent a total of 59 years together with 57 of those years being married. Sue served as the Oldmans Township Clerk for 25 years. However, her love for her community did not end there - she spent countless years volunteering on the Pedricktown Day Committee, Planning Board for Oldmans Township, the Ladies Auxiliary for Pedricktown Firehouse, and worked the election polls. She also was a devout Christian being a member at Ebenezer United Methodist Church of Auburn for many years. She served on both the Pastor-Parish Relations and Nominations Committees with the church. She continued attending church via livestream through her battle keeping her faith. She loved her family more than anything. Being a mother of two, grandmother of four, and great-grandmother of one was truly the highlight of her life. Not only was she grateful to watch all of the life she was responsible for creating, but she got to do this with her loving husband by her side. The two happily attended many of their grandkids’ and great-grandkid’s sports games, concerts, and graduations. Sue enjoyed many things throughout her fulfilled life. She spent many years making crafts, being the family seamstress, and baking any chance she could. She was a woman truly filled with life with many adventures. She often planned 2-3 cruises a year - our girl loved the Caribbean. On the weekends, you could expect her to be at Atlantic City enjoying the slot machines with her husband, sister, and nephew. If she was at a party and heard the Electric Slide come on, she was the first to run to the dance floor. She also went on many shopping trips with her sister Nettie - the two usually did everything together. Holidays were also her favorite - she loved to host and cook our holiday meals. Sue is survived by her beloved husband John, of 57 years, her daughter Sharon Van Namee (Dale), her son John Miller (Amy), siblings Margaret Norton (Richard), William Hall (Debbie), and Nettie Whitehead. She is also survived by her granddaughters Haley Ghignon (Nate), Emily Miller, Cassidy Van Namee, Madison Van Namee (Logun), and great grandson Walter Van Namee. She is predeceased by her parents, Benton and Sophia Hall and brother Winton “Jack” Hall. A viewing will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Ebenezer United Methodist Church of Auburn, 59 Main St., Auburn, NJ 08085 at 10:00am. Services will follow at the church beginning at 11:00am. Internment will take place at the Salem County Veterans Cemetery.
