Bernice W. (Mleczko) Miller, longtime resident of Clinton, summer resident of Guilford, and most recently of Brooklyn, passed away peacefully on July 31 at the age of 84. Bernice was born in Danbury on Feb. 5, 1937, daughter of the late Bronislaw Mleczko and Nettie (Beczek) Mleczko. She was the beloved wife of the late Dr. Robert George Miller (2012).

Bernice was the loving mother of Justine Curry and her husband Gregory of Johnston, Rhode Island, Hans Miller and his wife Carrie of Woodinville, Washington, and Daniel Miller and his wife Maureen of Cheshire. She is survived by seven grandchildren, Amanda and Aidan Curry, Markus and Lukas Miller, and Elizabeth, Ryan, and Rebecca Miller.

Bernice graduated from Danbury High School in 1954 as the class president.

Prior to her retirement in 2006, Bernice worked as a registered nurse at Danbury Hospital, Soldiers Memorial Hospital in Australia, Ashlar of Newtown, Clinton Health Care, and Madison House.
