Anne Winter Miller (née Halpenny) was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully at St. Therese on February 6, 2026, on her 80th birthday.

Anne was born in Montreal, Quebec, on February 6, 1946, to the late Dr. Gerald Winter Halpenny and Katharine Louise Hebb. A gifted student with a lifelong love of learning, she left home at 16 to attend Dalhousie University, where she completed her Bachelor of Arts degree. She later returned to Montreal to study nursing and devoted her career to caring for others with compassion, intelligence, and grace.

In October 1970, Anne married Dr. Douglas Miller, beginning a partnership built on love and shared adventure. In 1978, with two young sons in tow, Anne and Douglas packed up their lives and traveled by train to Lethbridge, embracing a new chapter with characteristic courage and optimism.

Anne was an intellectual with a warm heart—a voracious reader who filled her home with books and fostered a love of learning in everyone around her. Music was her joy; she played piano beautifully and sang in choirs throughout her life. Above all, she was a sweet, loving, and amazing mother who gave her family the gifts of curiosity, kindness, and unconditional love.

Anne is survived by her devoted husband, Dr. Douglas Miller; her sons Dr. Ian Miller (wife Jacinta, and grandchildren Aidan (Gillian), Gabe, and Blake (Bailey); and Colin Miller (wife Laura, and grandchildren Nate and Addy); her brother, Dr. David Halpenny; and her sister, Cathie Halpenny.

Anne will be remembered for her gentle spirit, sharp mind, and deep love for her family.
