Gary and April Miliner of Sanbornville, NH passed suddenly as the result of a fatal motor vehicle accident, and left this world together on September 27, 2023.

Gary Miliner was born to Vinton Miliner and Olida Soucy on December 27, 1952. Gary was the third eldest of five boys. The family resided in Sanbornville, NH where Gary would call home for the remainder of his life.

April Miliner was born to Florence and Charlie Welch on April 15, 1957. The family resided in Farmington, NH where April would spend her youth and adolescence.

Gary and April met and began dating while still in High School. Before graduation, they knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. They married in a quiet ceremony in Sanbornville, NH surrounded by family and friends in the Fall of 1978. They bought a house in Sanbornville, NH not too far from Gary's childhood home to settle down and start their family.

On July 12, 1980, they welcomed their son Charlie. Their daughter Catie came eight years later on September 14, 1988. As a family of four, they knew their family was complete.

Gary dedicated many years to serving on the local ball fields, imparting his passion for the sport to the community's youth. He was vital in bringing little league back to Sanbornville in 1968 and again with the formation of Babe Ruth in 1974.

During the Christmas season, he donated his time by assuming the role of Santa Claus at local holiday gatherings, with April by his side, spreading joy and holiday spirit. April's talent for baking ensured that stomachs were well-fed, while Gary, in his role as Santa, preserved the enchantment of Christmas by attentively listening to the wishes of all who came to see him.

Gary and April are survived by their children, Charlie Miliner and wife, Jess Fellows-Miliner of Hillsborough, NH and Daughter, Catie Hartford and Husband Justin Hartford of Sanbornville, NH. Gary is also survived by his four brothers, Jim, Dwight, David and Paul.

April is survived by her siblings, Mary Glidden, Jean Welch-Lanciano, and Bruce Welch.

The family will hold a Celebration of Life for Gary and April on Sunday, October 22nd at Hilton Park in Dover, NH at noon. Hilton Park held a special place in Gary and April's hearts and is a fitting location to bring together their loved ones to celebrate the memory of two extraordinary souls who are now united for eternity.
