Patricia “Trish” E. Miller, 78, of Derry, NH, died Friday September 12, 2025, in the Elliot Hospital in Manchester, NH surrounded by her loving family. She was born on October 28, 1946, in Baltimore, MD, a daughter of the late Rudolph and Mary (Haener) Gilbert. She had been a resident of Derry for the past 5 years, formerly living in Londonderry, NH and Woodland Park, Colorado.
Patricia had been employed by the Londonderry School District and was inducted into the Londonderry High School Hall of Fame in 1994. Her role started in 1980 as a high school media volunteer and developed over the years into employment as the district media coordinator. Patricia was an integral part of the creation of Londonderry’s local television station, CTV-20. She genuinely treasured her time working with the students and staff of the school district, especially having the opportunity to watch her daughters grow and progress through the schools.
Patricia loved traveling to visit family, especially returning to her hometown of New Orleans and cheering for her beloved Saints and LSU Tigers. She enjoyed watching the Blue Angels with her husband and marking life’s special moments with a celebratory lobster feast. A true lover of life’s simple joys, she adored basking in the sun, watching the birds, celebrating Christmas, rewatching old movies, attending Broadway shows, and spoiling her cherished dogs. But above all, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family.
She is survived by her husband of 53 years Dale E. Miller of Derry, NH; her daughters, Michelle Hart-Miller and wife, Christine Augello of Nashua, NH, and Amanda Wollman and husband Michael of San Francisco, CA; and her grandchildren, Eliana Wollman, Caleb Wollman, Tim Croteau and Julia Croteau; and her great-grandchildren, Marquis and Jordan Croteau. She was predeceased by her daughter, Melissa Miller and her brother, Rudy Gilbert.
Following cremation, calling hours will be held on Thursday, October 2nd from 4:00 - 6:00pm in the Peabody Funeral Homes and Crematorium, 290 Mammoth Rd., Londonderry.
