Centerville – Jeanne Ethyl (Dwyer) Miller passed away peacefully at the age of 84 at Wingate Brewster, MA on January 17, 2018. She was born in Cambridge, MA on April 15, 1933 to the late Francis A. Dwyer and Rose E. (Cain) Dwyer.
Jeanne graduated from Scituate High School in 1951 and went on to become the Executive Secretary for the Central Aguirre Sugar Cane Co. based out of Boston, MA. She was employed with them for 18 years. In 1971, Jeanne settled in Centerville, MA where she was self-employed and raised her son. She was a strong, independent woman with a whimsical sense of humor. Along with her lifelong friends, she enjoyed many great adventures or just a day relaxing at the beach. In her retirement, Jeanne devoted much of her time to her two grandchildren whom she adored immensely. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
Jeanne is survived by her son Sean Miller and his wife Joanna of Sandwich, MA and her beloved grandchildren Ryan and Emily.
Brother Frank Dwyer and his wife Carolyn of Riverview, FL; Sister Rose McDowall who was predeceased; and many nieces and nephews. Along with her family, she leaves behind her dearest friends Ellie Polimou of Cambridge, MA., Margaret Sullivan of Canton, MA., and Joan Doyle of E. Bridgewater, MA.
A private family service will be held in Scituate at a later date.
