I was just thinking about Mrs. Miller the other day.  She was an exceptional  dance teacher, as well as, driven to make you realize your fullest potential as a dancer.  She always pushed you to be your best, and let you know when you fell short of it.  She was a major influence in giving me the confidence I've had in pursuing my dreams!   Thank you and God Bless Mrs. Miller.

I graduated in 1976 from Chaffey High School and am proud to say that I, myself, have been teaching Dance for 35 years now, heavily influenced by my High School experience with Marion Miller (Fulton.)  Thank you so much for your inspiration.  You should have probably reined me in more, but the fact that you let me 'do my thing' has been my driving motivation as a teacher and I mentioned this in a speech I made when I won a teaching award for my dance program.  For your family who survives you, my condolences and best wishes to you all.  Karen Palko, Class of 76.

I was shocked to have chanced upon this obituary last night and want to send my most sincerest condolences to her children and family. Marian was a lovely and spectacular woman. I went to Chaffey with her and was honored to have been her escort to her graduation ball. Her passion for dance was enormous and her devotion to the art and her students was influential. I was blessed to have known the wonderful woman for over 62 years. She was a very special lady.

What an amazing woman.  I was in her classes from 69-72 at Chaffey.  She had a big influence in my life.  She was tough at times, but was also filled with compassion.  Thank you Marian for all you did for so many young women during your career.  Sally Burden-Burger '72 Chaffey

I had Mrs. Miller for several years. Although I had a little ballet training before high school, Mrs. Miller was smart and savvy enough to tell me in her interesting and direct way that my non-petite muscular body was better served doing jazz ballet. She was right of course. I had many years after high school of jazz ballet classes and loved it. I've thought of her often as she was an amazing instructor. Like my music classes, I LOVED and looked forward to Mrs. Miller's class. Such a fabulous break in an otherwise mundane day! And the performances were the cherry on the sundae. So awesome!!! Kashmir! Love to you Mrs. Miller, for your next journey.

I was blessed to have you as my dance teacher for 4 years, you put on the most stellar performances, thank you with all my heart, now your dancing with the angels rest in peace Mrs Miller.

Ms. Miller-Fulton brought so much passion to the dance program at Chaffey High School.  She inspired me to do many things.  It was Ms. Miller-Fulton who encouraged me to audition for my first paid job in dance and many years later she shocked me when she remembered me in a local shopping mall.  Her ability to really know and understand her students set her apart from many others. She is an instructor that I will always remember fondly.  Much of who I am today I owe to Marian Miller-Fulton.

One tough cookie! But what an amazing choreographer. I learned alot about growing a tough skin as a performer. She taught discipline and hard work were worth far more than candy coated accolades. An inspiration for always. Thank you. God bless and be with your family.

Mrs. Miller,
You were an angel for me throughout high school.  Without you and your class at Chaffey High school, I don 't know how I would have completed high school.  You knew my Mom was dying the year I started in modern dance class and when my Mom passed away you were a very kind, loving woman and teacher who kept be supported on the days I was sad.  You'll be missed very much!  Thanks for caring and helping me throughout my teenage years.

Thank you Mrs. Miller for pushing me to become more of a dancer than I ever imagined for myself.  You have given me memories that I will cherish my entire life.  Dance on in Heaven Mrs. Miller.......5,  6, 7, 8,.......CHS class of '79

Thank you so much for being a part of my life and a wonderful teacher. I will never forget everything you did for me. Blessings to your family.

Keep on dancing Mrs. Miller!  Thanks for your inspiration and guidance.  You made a difference.

Mrs Miller inspired so many girls to dance with their heart and soul for 35 years. I feel blessed to have known her and I am very thankful for all the amazing experiences she gave to me in her classes. Her breath taking creations and her guidance to push us young ladies to give the most spectacular live performances on stage are cherished moments that will live with me forever. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

I met Marian when we attended Chaffey High School (Class of 1953) and graduated together.  Marian was one of those people that you always remember, even years after meeting them.  She had such a love of dance and such dedication to it.  Admirably so.  May her soul rest in peace.

Mrs. Miller-Fulton inspired so many girls to dance with her passion for it herself. Her guidance and nurturing led me to a career in dance; we would meet up in NYC when I lived there and she remained one of my dearest teachers. Peace be with her and her family.
