Obituary
Miller, Alida Catharina
At Meadowview Villa Nursing Home in Petrolia, on Tuesday March 3, 2026, Alida Catharina Miller passed away at the age of 77.
Alida was the beloved wife of the late Philip Lloyd Miller (2024).
Loving mother of Karen Gardner (Russ), Lori Swartz (Jason) and Stephen Miller (Kristy).
Cherished grandma of Samantha (Cody), Courtney (Marco), Nicholas, Savannah, and Layla, great grandma of Ella, Irene, James, and Lorenzo.
She is survived by her siblings Elsie Glanville, Edith Roberts (John), Roxanne Reid, and Rosemary McCulligh, her sisters-in-law Marie Scott and Shirley Scott, brother-in-law Gary Peterbaugh, and several nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by her parents Alfred and Christena Scott, and her siblings Alfred Scott Jr., Christena June Scott, Edward Scott, Walter Scott, Bob Scott, Joe Scott, and Barb Scott, her grandson Ryan Swartz, and her brothers-in-law Les Glanville and John Reid.
Alida enjoyed engaging with the “littles” in the daycare that she ran for over 30 years. She loved getting together for family reunions on Manitoulin Island. Alida enjoyed new experiences and adventures which lead her to roller blading later in life.
The family want to express their gratitude to staff at Lambton Meadowview Villa for their compassionate care of mom.

Condolences
It was my honor. There are many people who come through your life but many don't become like FAMILY. Alida and Phil welcomed us into there home 28 years ago. Alida became a grandmother figure to Mallory(Mal gal). They provided stability and love each and every child needs. For years after our visits were few and far between but Alida always brought smiles to us whenever we saw her. My deepest condolences to Lori, Karen and Steve and all the families. Know that your mom was truly one of a kind.

It is with great sadness that we leave this message for Steve, Kristy, Layla and the family. We had the pleasure of being with Alida and Phil many times over the years and each time was a joy. She was a great mom, a wonderful grandmother, and a friend to everyone who knew her. She missed her Phil and now she has joined him in the after life. Rest In Peace Alida, the race is now over...and you have earned your rest.
