Jacqueline Ann Miller

Jacqueline Ann Miller (Avery) was born May 22nd 1959 at Theda Clark Hospital in Neenah, Wisconsin to Robert and Mary (Schaefer) Avery. 

Jacque and her family moved from Neenah to Phoenix, AZ in 1966 where she ultimately graduated from ASU with a Bachelor's degree in Business/Human Resources, then went on to marry Michael Miller on May 27, 1980 at St. Gregory Catholic Church. Jacque and Michael raised two beloved sons, Christopher and Sean and nurtured family ties in Phoenix

and Wisconsin. Jacque's career in human resources began at St. Joseph's Hospital; then progressed to supervisory positions at Freeport McMoRan Mining where her career thrived and she was valued, respected, and rewarded for her expertise and dedication until health challenges required her to prematurely retire. Jacque passed away quietly in her sleep October 19th, 2024 at her home in Phoenix. Jacque bore prolonged illness with strength, hope and dignity and was a kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend. She will

be painfully missed but is surely enjoying the peace and love of her Lord Jesus who was always her greatest source of strength and hope. Her faith never wavered.

Jacque was preceded in death by her parents and her son Sean. She is survived by her husband Michael, son Christopher (Melinda), sister Patricia Avery-Schuster (Robert), grandchildren Aubrieana Toth, nee Miller (Benjamin) and Sarah, Santos and CJ Miller, many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
