Mary Magdalena Miller Roegge

Mary Magdalena Miller Roegge,  When asked how she was doing, until the very end, Mary always answered,” I’m as ornery as ever! “ Mary died peacefully Saturday morning,  April 6th, 2019 in Stein Hospice.

Mary was born November 3,1925 to William and Isabella (Link) Diebold .  She was born and raised in Sandusky.  She married Paul Henry Miller in 1945. They started with nothing, but through hard work and determination, they created Milridge Farms in Castalia. They restored and renovated the 1860 farmhouse; Mary always had a project, and took great pride in their home.  

 Mary was a member of Grace Lutheran Church. After Paul’s death in 1985, she married Charles Bates Roegge in 1990.

Paul and Mary had three children, Todd C. Miller of Castalia, Susan (deceased), and Christine Miller Hamilton of Castalia.
