Obituary

Debra A. Miller, 71, of Lewiston, NY, passed away on September 18, 2026, at her residence. Born in Niagara Falls, she was the daughter of the late Ellis S. “Leo” and Rose Marie (Malvestuto) George, and the wife of the late Robert I. “Bob” Miller, who predeceased her on December 14, 2014.

Debra was a graduate of LaSalle High School. She was employed for 30 years as a Manager in the Meat Department at Kroger’s Grocery in Chesterfield, MI, until her retirement in 2016, returning to the Niagara Falls area shortly thereafter.

Debra enjoyed reading, listening to music, dancing, singing, and going on cruises. She loved to cook and will be remembered for her extreme generosity and loving personality. Above all, she cherished time spent with her family.

She is survived by her children, Stephanie Balser, Stacy (Patrick) Donovan, Eric Minthorn and Tara Minthorn; her grandchildren, Stephen Donovan, Andre (Stephanie) Balser, and Eliana Novotny; her great‑grandchildren, Jayden, Jackson, and Lucy; and her step‑children, Tina (Joseph), Celeste, and Robynne.
