MILLER, Shirley Joyce (nee COWIE) 1929 – 2017 Born in Toronto, Ontario on June 1, 1929 passed away suddenly and peacefully on August 27, 2017 following a very happy period of her life. Growing up in Toronto as the only child of Eileen and David Cowie, Shirley married her beloved husband of nearly 33 years, the late John Garfield Miller. Beloved mother of Janis Eden, grandmother of Lisa Samoy (Nick) and Jackie Pierce. Especially proud great-grandmother of Jacob Samoy and Violet Samoy. One of Shirley’s greatest passions was the line dancing group she was involved with multiple times a week for over 17 years and the friendships made there. Shirley’s last years were made easier with the care and friendship of the wonderful staff and residents at Park Place Manor in Aurora where she will be missed. A visitation will be held at the Highland Funeral Home, Markham Chapel located at 10 Cachet Woods Court, Markham (NE corner of HWY 404 and 16th Avenue) on Thursday, August 31, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. followed by a service at 11:30 a.m. and burial at Highland Memory Gardens.
