Corlette Miller

Corlette Brenda Miller was born February 14, 1948, to the late Mary L. Dean and Amos Dean Sr. She was raised by her grandmother Flora Rambough. Brenda, as she is affectionately known, transitioned on February 27, 2025, at Capital Health Regional Campus in Trenton, New Jersey.

Brenda was educated in the Trenton Public Schools and graduated from Trenton Central High School. She was employed by both the Ewing Township and Trenton Public School systems from September 1979 until she retired in March 2004.

Brenda accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at a young age. She attended Trenton Church of Christ where she sang in the choir. She later joined Union Baptist Church in Trenton, New Jersey to worship with her husband, Johnnie F. Miller, under the leadership of Pastor Simeon Spencer. While at the church, Brenda selflessly served on the Homeless Ministry.
