     Kathryn “Kay” Blakeslee Roe Miller of Centreville, MD passed away at her home on Friday, November 29, 2024. She was 92 years old.

     Born in Wye Mills, MD on February 23, 1932, Kay had lived in Queen Anne’s County her entire life. She was the daughter of the late John Baggs T. Roe, Sr, and Kathryn Elizabeth Blakeslee Roe. Her husband, John E. Miller, passed away on March 1, 1992. Kay graduated from Centerville High School in 1949. Before marriage, she was a seamstress at the Perfect Apparel sewing factory in Centreville. She also had an upholstery business with Mrs. Ruth Gibson. She was a Lifetime 4-H All Star and for years cooked for the 4-H camp in Centreville becoming known as “Momma K”. In later years she enjoyed reading, needle crafts, and made many blankets for Project Linus. In addition, she belonged to the Chapter #69 Order of the Eastern Star. But, most of all, she was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother and will be dearly missed.
