Fund Est. 1999
In 1999, the Roseanne F. Miller Memorial Scholarship Fund was created by Roseanne's husband, Maurice 'Mo' and their children as an infinite memorial to Roseanne. A 21-year employee of Bellmont High School, a devoted wife and mother, Roseanne and Mo set their goals to help their seven children realize their dreams. They instilled the value of a strong work ethic, importance of a healthy body, the importance of being respectful, motivated, and responsible and encouraged their children to pursue a higher education.
Roseanne is well remembered by her involvement in the St. Mary's Catholic Church, PTA, and her commitment to serve cancer research. Roseanne participated in an Indiana University Medical center research study enabling academic physicians to learn more about treatment for rare cancers. Less than ten percent of all people who have cancer have the type of liver cancer that Roseanne had, therefore, Roseanne's participation provided valuable information. Those of the future will benefit from Roseanne's contribution to this study.
Roseanne's family has honored her by awarding an annual scholarship to a Bellmont graduating senior. The first scholarship was awarded in 2001 and one student has received the Roseanne F. Miller Memorial Scholarship ever since.
