Rose Ann Miller, the daughter of Alvin Sr. and Lucille (Kahnke) Miller, was born on December 10, 1943 in Waseca. "Rosie" enjoyed her collection of dolls, the cat Joey that lived with her at Elm Homes, crafts, movies and bingo. Rosie treasured the times she spent going out for pie and coffee with loved ones. She always made red jello and whipped cream for the holidays and never missed a birthday celebration for her family and friends.

Rosie had a special doll Susie, that she often carried to give her comfort. She will be missed for her "one-liners" and sense of humor in which she was often times famous for. Rosie was always pleasant and good-natured and will be remembered as our sweet bundle of joy.

She is survived by her twenty-one siblings, Sister Ramona, OSF, Alvin (Donna), Kathleen, Robert, Patricia (Glen), Marylu, Diane, John (Sandy), Janet (Jim), Linda, Virginia, Helen (Tom), Art (Michelle), Dolores, Marty, Pauline, Alice, Angela (John), Marcia (Randy), Gregory (Karen), and Damien (Claudia); her housemates and care givers at Elm Homes where she resided her entire adult life; her many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents Alvin Sr. & Lucille Miller , and by her godparents, Gene & Mary Miller.
