Secretary

Marion Miller

A resident since 1988, Marion is a business owner and office manager with a rich history of community service. For over 10 years, she served as PTA President, Vice President, and Volunteer Coordinator for Fifth Ward Jr. High School, alongside volunteering at St. Michael's Catholic Church. Though raised in Kenner, she fell in love with the quiet peace of Bush—from morning coffee watching the birds to the tight-knit bonds where everyone knows everyone.

Over the years, she and her husband have raised Beef Master cattle and adopted horses, now enjoying life raising chickens and rabbits. She has watched a generation of Bush children grow up to raise their own families here, preserving the rural traditions she holds dear.
