In Memory of Vivian Geraldine Miller

Vivian Geraldine Miller

Beloved mother, sister, and grandmother, Gerry Miller died June 6, 2008. A veteran, an artist, and environmentalist, Gerry exhibited many years at the Savannah Art Association and wrote calligraphy for such groups as the Hibernian Society. She attended the Savannah College of Art and Design. She worked at Walden Books in Oglethorpe Mall for twenty years. She retired to the Rose of Sharon Apts.

As an environmentalist, she supported the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, and especially, Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway. She often published letters in the Savannah Morning News about ecology. Gerry loved art and visited the Louvre, the British Museum, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, and many art museums in the U.S. She also loved the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and visited many of his homes and buildings around the country.


She is survived by two sons, Dr. Jack Miller and Mr. John Miller, a son-in-law, Mr. Darryl Gossett, a grandaughter, Maggie Vivian Miller, a sister, Marilyn Johnson, and several close nieces. Gerry was also a member of St. John's Episcopal Church and had a wonderful affinity to Buddhism, one of her best friends being a Buddhist Monk.

In lieu of flowers, gifts should be made in her name to the Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway at the link below:
