Cheryl Miller

Cheryl Miller, of Rindge, New Hampshire, passed away after a courageous years-long battle with dementia. Throughout her illness, her devoted husband, Paul, remained faithfully by her side, providing unwavering love and dedicated care every step of the way.

Born on April 1, 1951, in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Cheryl lived a life centered around family, friendship, and caring for others. She was the last surviving of seven siblings and was predeceased by her brothers and sisters: Evelyn, Sandy, John, Edie, Rex, and Donna.

Cheryl is survived by her loving husband, Paul. Her sons, Anthony and Nicholas Perenzin and his wife Shelly. Her stepchildren, Shaun and his wife Jasmine, Scott and his girlfriend Melanie, and Carly and her boyfriend Brian. Also her cherished grandchildren, Tyler, Crona, Krista, Noah, Maxwell, Brooke, Ashley, Levi, Griffin, Jacob, and Sophie.

To Cheryl, family always came first. She especially treasured time spent with her grandchildren.

She was known for her generous heart and tireless work ethic. Cheryl was a natural caregiver and nurturer who was always willing to help anyone in need. She never slowed down, worked hard throughout her life, and spoke her mind—whether the message was good, bad, or indifferent. Her honesty and outspoken nature were part of what made her unforgettable.

Cheryl found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She loved gathering around weekend fires with friends at the park, socializing with neighbors, playing cards, watching crime shows, and sharing countless games of Kismet with her dear friend, Kathy Ouellette, who predeceased her earlier this year. She was also known for her secret family recipe for chicken and rice, a meal that brought comfort and joy to those she loved (if you know, you know!). Seldom could she be found without her large regular Dunkin' iced coffee.

Above all, Cheryl will be remembered for her boundless love, her fierce devotion to her family, and her generous spirit. Her kindness, strength, and unmistakable personality leave a legacy that will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
