Edna Faye Miller

MILLER: EDNA FAYE (1927-2017) Mrs. E. Faye Miller of North Head, Grand Manan, NB passed away at the Grand Manan Hospital on Wednesday, March 29, 2017 with her family by her side.

Faye cleaned at The Shorecrest, Marathon, Swallowtail Inn, Whale Cove cottages, and many private summer homes when she began her working career to support her young family. She strung and boned herring for Wellington Lambert at Stanley’s Beach and worked at D.K. Morse store. Over the years she knit, sewed and crocheted to keep her family going; then in the later years she continued to knit and was one of the first venders at the Farmers Market until last year. Faye then happily moved to the Grand Manan Nursing Home where she was enjoying the worry free life.

Faye was the daughter of the late Gatchel and Iola (Green) Lambert. She is survived by two daughters, Susan Lambert, of North Head, Carol Miller (Don Gregin) of Charlo, NB, two sons H. Wayne Miller (Gail) of North Head and Daniel Miller (Carol) of Woodwards Cove, seven grandchildren, six great grandchildren, three sisters Dorothy Griffin, Marion Pierce, and Linda Slack, one brother Eugene Lambert. She was predeceased by her parents, her husband Harley Miller, one brother John Lambert and one son in law Lee Lambert in 2013.

As Faye’s wishes there will be no visitation or funeral service. There will be a family grave side service in the spring at the North Head Community Cemetery. Donations can be made to the Grand Manan Hospital Foundation, the Grand Manan Nursing Home Foundation or the donor’s choice.

Arrangements are in the care of Ells Funeral Home Inc., 1199 Route 776, Grand Manan, NB E5G 1G2. Condolences, messages of sympathy also may be sent to www.ells.ca or (506)662-3116
