Janet A. Miller, 93, formerly of Lock Haven passed away Sunday, March 17, 2019 in Florida. Janet spent the past five years in Florida, first, living with her daughter, Cheryl, in Wildwood, Fl., and later at Mission Oaks Senior Living Facility in Oxford, Fl.
Born December 31, 1925 in Tyrone, Pa., she was a daughter of the late Clyde A. and Josephine DeLong Rossman.
On May 17, 1941 she married Reed T. Miller with whom she celebrated 60 years of marriage before his passing in 2001.
