Possibly the same as Eleanor "Dusty" Miller

The March 2012 issue of RALU News says that "this late winter of 2012" brought a time of loss when two dynamic women passed from the scene in the community, Eleanor "Dusty" Miller and Dr. Helen Smith (see Helen E. H. Smith). It remembers Dusty in her own right and as the other half of Tom Miller, "the person who carried the torch for the arts at Lakehead during the earliest days".

This page records a death on 14 February 2012, which fits that winter, so she is possibly the same person. Because the notice has no date of death and names a very common surname, the match is not confirmed. If it is her, then the following pages probably describe the same people:

• Eleanor Joan Miller (née Faircloth), who married Thomas Breech Miller on 4 August 1949.
• Joan "Dusty" Miller (fl. 1965) (a 1965 Cambrian Players workshop, a 1961 production of The Crucible at Lakeview) and Dusty Miller (fl. 1994) (many notices about municipal elections, a 1983 Cambrian Players award and a 1989 "man behind successful woman" feature).
• Tom Miller (fl. 1961), who shares the 1961, 1983 and 1989 notices with those two pages.
