Jacksonville Review November 2020
Sue Miler’s Activist Life Continues in Jacksonville – by Mike McClain
In 2009, Sue Miler and her, husband, Dave Doi, moved across country from Washington, D.C. to an active retirement life in Jacksonville. Like all featured Sensational Seniors, she has a compelling life story that began on October 27, 1947 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was born into a large Catholic family, and the Catholic church was an integral part of her early years. “Growing up I didn’t think our family of eight was unusual as large families were the norm in our neighborhood, and boy was it a diverse neighborhood with a mix of White, Black, Indian and Latino families. While my family survived quite well on my father’s job as a punch press operator in a metal stamping plant, we were surrounded by poverty and all that poverty brings with it.”
