Miller

Black River – Lori Dee Miller, age 57, of Leray Street, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2026, in Mexico, NY, from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 1:00 PM at 2759 County Rt. 2, Richland, NY 13144.

She was born on January 28, 1969, in Oswego, New York, to the late Dale Richard and Marjorie Elizabeth (Wallis) Haynes. She graduated from Pulaski High School in 1987. Lori worked as a dedicated activity director for the disabled and elderly until her injury required her to take disability leave.

Lori loved crafts of all kinds—especially diamond dots and needlepoint—as well as taking long walks and listening to music. She was a faithful servant to her church and God. Known as a deeply selfless, loving, and nonjudgmental person, she cherished every moment spent with her family and friends. The beach was always her happy place.

She is survived by her son, Hunter (Beth) Haynes Miller of Gloucester, VA; her bonus daughter, Shaylee Monteith, Pulaski; her siblings, Donna Vogt of Hastings, NY, Sue Nolet of Texas, and Jodi Spence of Texas; four bonus-grandchildren, Landon, Lexi, Leila, and Liberty; and many special nieces and nephews. Lori was predeceased by her parents and her siblings, Debi Kelly, Eddie Haynes, and Dan Haynes.

Arrangements are with Lundy Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Inc., located at 500 State Street, Carthage, NY 13619. Online condolences may be shared at www.lundyfuneralhome.com.
