FALLS VILLAGE — Elisabeth Ann Miller, known by many as Libby, passed peacefully at home on March 22, 2024, after a long number of illnesses.

Libby was born Nov. 24, 1958, in Hartford, and spent her early years in Simsbury.

She attended Simsbury schools and the University of Connecticut. Following her studies, Libby had a successful career in the insurance industry, working with a number of major insurance companies in the Hartford area as an underwriter and actuary.

Later, she joined her family’s insurance business, serving as vice president in the New Hartford, Litchfield county areas.

Moving to the Salisbury area, Libby pursued a career as an advertising representative for 12 years at the Lakeville Journal before retiring.

Her interests included cooking, crafting, antique jewelry, books, and music. She loved nature and all types of animals.

Libby is survived by her husband, Ralph Carl Miller, a brother, R. William Cosseboom of Anthem, Arizona, sister Carrie Cosseboom (Harris) of Canton, and a number of nieces and nephews and her close friends Ina Palmer of Miami, Florida and Melissa Crampton of Falls Village.

There are no services planned, however, a memorial service is planned for later in the year.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the visiting nurse and hospice of Litchfield County or a charity of your choice.

Kenny Funeral Home in Sharon has care of arrangements.
