Catherine Vivian Miller, 62

July 30, 1962 – March 9, 2025

Catherine Vivian Miller, capital C, was spawned July 30, 1962 to one Thomas John Miller and his devoted wife Arlene Rose Mancini of Hollywood FL. She was born the younger sister of John “Skip” Miller and dutifully took on the role of adoring sibling and chief tormentor. She loved reminiscing on a childhood growing up in the 70’s and early 80’s surrounded by drugs, sex and rock and roll with no camera phones around to capture it. Her best friends remained her aunts, uncles, cousins and a few wild classmen from McArthur High School. Finally in 1986 she decided to give the world a brief respite and pursue her true life calling to be a homemaker and mother.

She has been barely survived by her husband and best friend Dennis LaBeur and his (her) dog, as well as her three crotch muffins Kathlene “Miserabella” Miller, Jake “A Boo” Miller and Julie “Scaggarella” Barnard and their brood of rambunctious heathens Kathlyn “Kaka” and Lucca “Lukaka” Carvalho-Silva and the three smags, Brendan, James and Jude Barnard. It wasn’t always easy being mother to the world’s most beautiful children and grandchildren but it was a burden she willfully took on and brought some of her greatest joy.

She will best be remembered, at least by this author, for her air drum solos, stand-up comedy reenactments, NASCAR driving skills, terrible life advice and the greatest unconditional love. The world will be forever muted with the loss of her vibrant spirit. Brought to peace March 9, 2025.

A gathering will be held at Seawinds Sebastian on March 19 at 2 pm.
