Sharon Palmer Miller

1/25/2019

 
   Sharon Palmer Miller, 77, of 334 State Street in Towanda, Pa. passed away early Friday morning, Jan. 25, 2019.  Born and raised in Troy, Pa., Sharon graduated from Troy High School with the class of 1959. Following high school, Sharon worked as an operator at the Commonwealth Telephone Company.  On July 16, 1966, she married the love of her life, Michael J. Miller at SS. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Towanda.
   Sharon and Mike built their life together in Towanda, raising four children and dedicating themselves to a range of community activities. With a passion for children, Sharon provided day care in their home for nearly a decade, from the early 1970s until about 1981.  Sharon delighted in surrounding herself with children and took as much pride in watching her “Mrs. Miller’s kids” grow up as she did in her own children.
​   Sharon eventually returned to work at the Commonwealth Telephone Company where she remained until retiring in February of 1999.  Sharon was a devoted member of SS. Peter and Paul Church in Towanda, the Altar and Rosary Society and was an active volunteer and supporter of church activities and events. Most of all, Sharon was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend to all.  She will be remembered for her kind and gracious personality, as well as her homemade baked goods, including English muffin bread, peanut brittle, and strawberry and peach jam.
   Sharon’s family includes her devoted husband of 52 years, Michael J. “Mike” Miller, children, Michael Miller Jr. and wife Mary of Hillsboro, NC, Maurita McCorkle and husband James of Raleigh, NC, Kathleen Miller of Arlington, VA, C. B. Miller of Towanda, grandchildren, Matthew and Jacob Miller, Kearia and Tyler McCorkle, brother, V. Bradley Palmer and wife Sue of Malvern, PA, several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and cousins.  Sharon was predeceased by her mother, Martha Palmer.
 The family will receive friends Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Maryott-Bowen Funeral Home 217 York Ave. Towanda, Pa. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Thursday, Jan. 31, 2019 at 10 a.m. at SS. Peter and Paul Church, Third St. Towanda, Pa. with Rev. Edward Michelini, pastor, as celebrant.
Interment will be at a later date in SS. Peter and Paul Cemetery, North Towanda, Pa.
  The family suggests that contributions be directed to the Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania, 950 Walnut Bottom Road, Suite 15-229, Carlisle, Pa. 17015 or to St. Agnes School, 102 Third St. Towanda, Pa. 18848 in memory of Sharon P. Miller.  Memories and condolences may be expressed by visiting www.bowenfuneralhomes.com
