Mrs. Miller was born on October 19, 1942 in Wellsville to Leo A. and Daisy Mae (Glover) DeRemer. She was a 1960 graduate of Andover Central School. On December 5, 1964 at the Andover United Methodist Church she married Douglas D. Miller, who predeceased her on November 24, 2002.
Nancy began her career at Texas Hot in Wellsville, where incidentally she met her future husband. She wasn’t interested but he was persistent. After her first child came along, Nancy became a dedicated stay at home mom tending to the needs of her family. Twenty years later she resumed her career at Alex’s College Spot and later at Pizza Factory, both in Alfred where she was Restaurant Manager; retiring in 1994.
Nancy is survived by five children, Michael (Cathy) DeRemer of Charles City, Va.; Melanie (Greg) Smith of Alpharetta, Ga., Annette (Kevin) Perry of Andover, Douglas Miller, Jr. of Reidsville, N.C. and Eric (Tiffany) Miller of Wellsville; 14 grandchildren, Brittney (Thomas) Bowles ,Michael Robert “Mic” DeRemer, Matthew (Tasha) DeRemer, Alicia (Kinny) Cornelison, Lyndsey (Hunter) Smith, Christopher (Mabelys) Smith, A.J.

In addition to her husband of almost 38 years, she was predeceased by a sister, Linda Burlingame.
Nancy loved to cook, especially around the holidays. She had a specific meal plan for each holiday, written on note cards and she insisted that she did all the cooking. Nancy was proud of her flower and vegetable garden and enjoyed keeping her shelves well stocked with her summertime canning activities.
Nancy had other pleasures that didn’t involve food. She became an avid reader, especially romance novels. She enjoyed country music with artist Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood and Jason Aldean as some of her favorites. She liked to take little and big travel trips, usually accompanied by a grandchild or two to places that fancied her interest. Recently she visited Nashville to take in a concert and took a nostalgic trip to Mt. Union, Pennsylvania; boyhood home of her husband.
Known in Andover as “Everyone’s Ma”, Nancy often frequented The Village Pub for their Thursday Social Hour where she would enjoy a drink, listen to music and gather with friends. And as a huge Buffalo Bills fan, would celebrate or commiserate the latest game results. She had an open ear to anybody and could easily converse with friend or stranger. Nancy was direct, witty, loyal, sweet and feisty and was loved for all these things.
Nancy was a longtime volunteer at the Andover American Legion and served with the Andover Firemen’s Ladies Auxiliary.
Per Nancy’s wishes, there will be no prior visitation. There will be a Celebration of Life at the Andover Volunteer Fire Department on Friday (April 11) from 3-6 p.m. Her ashes will be laid to rest beside her husband in Hillside Cemetery at a private family gathering.
Arrangements are under the direction of Baker-Swan Funeral Home in Andover. Online condolences may be offered at www.baker-swan.com.
