Sara Taylor Miller

Sara Taylor Miller, 82, passed away peacefully on August 27. Born October 31, 1941 in Baltimore, Sara always enjoyed the magical, whimsical and "witchiness" the Halloween celebration exudes, along with an affinity for Star Trek and its memorabilia, and colorful butterflies.

Her family moved to Emmitsburg during the mid-1950’s where her mother opened a Tailor shop on Main St.. Sara was a part of the Emmitsburg High School class of 1959 then attended Salisbury State College for a time pursuing early education. Once married she moved to Blue Ridge Summit, then to Shady Side, Md until 1979 when she moved back to Emmitsburg.

She worked for the Office of Planning and Zoning for the town of Emmitsburg for 14 years, Hechinger’s in Frederick and retired from Fitzgerald Auto Mall. Later in life, Sara enjoyed discussing the latest shenanigans of the daytime "soap operas" with her sister Regina who predeceased her in June.

Sara is survived by her sons Kevin (Peggy), Martin (Carolyn), grandchildren Colleen (Ryan), Shannon, and Joel, and great grandchildren Hannah, Parker, Lakley, and Charlie.

A celebration of life will be held on November 2nd at 2 p.m. at Tom’s Creek United Methodist Church. Internment to follow on a later date at St. George’s Church, Pungoteague, VA. Donations may be made to the Emmitsburg High School Scholarship Fund.
