Bernard N. Millner, M.D. WOLFEBORO, NH - Bernard N. "Bud" Millner, M.D., of Wolfeboro, NH, died peacefully on Feb. 20, 2011, 10 days short of his 90th birthday, in the company of his wife, Josephine, and daughter, Gogi. He was well-loved by many friends, family, and professional associates. Bud was born in Trenton in 1921, the son of Frank and Rose Vine Millner (of the Frank Millner Steel Company, on Olden Avenue). Graduating from Trenton Central High School in 1938, Bud attended Yale University, being accepted into the Phi Beta Kappa honors fraternity in his junior year. He majored in philosophy, writing a senior thesis on David Hume, and graduating in 1942. In that year, he enlisted in the United States Navy, which paid for his medical education at Columbia (University) College of Physicians and Surgeons. In 1945 he graduated and, as a lieutenant, was immediately stationed in Port Hueneme, CA. It was in California that he met and married Josie, at that time a sergeant in the Marine Corps Women's Reserve. Their first two children were born in California. Bud received his training as a pediatrician at New York University - Bellevue Medical Center, 1949-1951, and opened his Trenton, NJ, practice on West State Street (later on Parkside Avenue) in 1951. He began moving into public health in 1961, accepting a full-time position as pediatric consultant in New Jersey's Maternal Child and Health Program in 1963. In 1969 he became director of the MCH Program, and in 1971 director of Parental and Child Health Services, responsible for state-wide child health, maternity, family planning, accident prevention, poison control, and dental health activities. After a brief period as medical director of the Jersey City Health Center (1974-75), Bud was appointed medical director of the Henry J. Austin Health Center, on Warren Street, in Trenton, where he served until his retirement as a State of New Jersey employee in 1985. Unwilling to stay retired, he obtained a two-year position as pediatrician in American Samoa, followed by a year of study at the University of Hawaii. In 1989 he obtained a position as medical director of the Physically Handicapped Children's Program of New York State Department of Health, in Albany. He later moved on to the New York State Medical Ethics Board. Bud retired for good from medicine at age 77, moving to Wolfeboro, NH, the home town of his daughter, Gogi, where he assisted her in bookkeeping for her Cornish Hill Pottery business. He never stopped studying, joining a book discussion group and refreshing his Hebrew language skills. Throughout his life he enjoyed tennis, news on PBS, travel, and photography. Bud was predeceased by his older brother and sister, Irvin Millner and Madlyn Millner Kahr, and is survived by his brother Lawrence (and wife Mitzi) and sister-in-law Charlotte. He is also survived by his wife, Josephine; his children, Fredrick (and wife Sandra) Millner, of Hamilton, NJ; Stephen (and wife Marie Kane) Millner, of Yardley, PA; Marjorie Millner, of Vancouver, WA; Dorothy (Gogi) Millner, of Wolfeboro, NH, and seven grandchildren. Bud's expressed wishes were for cremation. No funeral will take place.

Josephine Hinckley "Jo" Millner
NEWTOWN, PA — It is with great sadness that the family of Josephine Hinckley Millner announces her passing on Saturday, December 4, 2021 at the age of 99 at Chandler Hall, in Newtown, PA., where she received excellent care. Her artistic knowledge and love for her family will be greatly missed. She was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and lived there for nineteen years. For the greatest part of her life, she lived in Trenton, New Jersey where friends and family surrounded her. Daughter of the late Ira Parnell and Cleo Cranney Hinckley, Jo is predeceased by her husband, Bernard N. Millner, M.D., two sisters, Harriet Hinckley Eliason and Cleo Hinckley Eliason, both of Delta, UT, and two brothers, King Parnell Hinckley of Seattle, WA, and David Hinckley of Flint, MI. She is survived by her four children: two sons and daughters-in-law, Fred and Sandy (Maniewicz) Millner of Trenton and Stephen J. and Marie Kane Millner of Yardley, PA and two daughters, Marjorie Millner of Vancouver, WA, and Gogi Millner of Wolfeboro, NH, seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. In addition, she is also survived by her youngest sister, Marjorie Hinckley Ebert of Ann Arbor, MI, and her brother-in-law, Fred, as well as numerous nieces and nephews who have fond memories of Aunt Josie, and many grand-and great-grand nieces and nephews. Jo served in the U.S. Marine Corps Women's Reserve, stationed at the Muroc Army Airfield in the Mojave Desert, California during World War II from 1943 to 1945 where she was promoted to sergeant. While serving, she met Naval Lieutenant Bernard N. Millner; they married after her honorable discharge in 1945. A graduate of Granite High School in Salt Lake City, she attended the University of Utah for one year. She pursued her art interest while raising a family, studying painting with expressionist Jack Tworkov at Queens College, NY. In her fifties, Jo reentered college at The College of New Jersey, graduating in 1975 with a degree in Liberal Arts/Art cum laude. During her artistic career, she also studied with James Colavita, Ilse Johnson, and John Charry, among others. She produced works in ceramics, painting, fiber, and mixed media. Her art has been shown in many exhibitions in New Jersey, including Eyes on Trenton at the New Jersey State Museum, the Trenton City Museum, and many private galleries. She belonged to the Trenton-Morrisville Art Group, the New Jersey Designer Craftsmen, The Trenton Artists Workshop Association, and the Eldridge Park Art Group. Jo worked in the Trenton Elementary Schools for five years under the New Jersey Title 1 Art Program. She was then employed by the New Jersey State Museum for ten years as a research assistant in archeology/ethnology, and following her retirement, volunteered there for another seventeen years. During the 1950's she was a member of the well-known Aquabelles Synchronized Swimming Club at the Trenton YWCA. A member of the Unitarian-Universalist Church at Washington Crossing for over fifty years, she actively participated in many of its programs and strongly endorsed its principles. Jo supported many charitable organizations reflecting her love of the environment: The Nature Conservancy, Zero Population Growth, Population Environment Balance, and the Southern Utah Wilderness Association. At Jo's request, there will be no services or calling hours. She has expressed her wish to be cremated, and her ashes placed in the Memorial Garden of the Unitarian-Universalist Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to any of the charities listed above or to her church. The family is planning a celebration of her life for this spring near May 15, 2022, which would have been her 100th birthday. Family and friends will be notified. Contact Fred Millner at flmillner@gmail.com if you wish to make sure you will be informed.
