Lenore F. Miller

It is with sadness that we announce the death of Lenore Miller on June 2, 2025. She led a remarkable, long and happy life. Lenore was a fierce supporter of equality and fairness for workers, culminating in her achievement as the first female president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union as well as the first female Vice President of the AFL-CIO. She knew Presidents and dignitaries and it is even rumored that she met Jimmy Hoffa. But her proudest accomplishments were being a wife, a mother and a grandmother. She is survived by her daughter Jessica, her son-in-law Alan and her two grandsons Gabriel and Jacob. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Jewish Labor Committee or the Botto House Jewish Labor Museum.

A funeral service for Lenore will be held Thursday, June 5, 2025 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Bloomfield-Cooper Jewish Chapels, 2130 Highway 35, Ocean, NJ 07712. Following the funeral service will be a committal service from 12:30 PM to 1:00 PM at Riverside Cemetery, 12 Market St, Saddle Brook, NJ 07663.

The family will be sitting shiva at 12 Garden Road Little Silver, NJ 07739 on Thursday June 5th, 2025 from 3-6pm and again on Friday June 6th, 2025 from 12-2pm.
