Thunder Bay’s first female mayor will be remember at a public memorial service on Friday.

City council announced that the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium will host the memorial service for former mayor Eleanor Joan (Dusty) Miller. The doors will open around 1 p.m. with the main service beginning around 2 p.m.

The public are welcome to join.

Miller passed away on Feb. 14 at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre following an extended illness. She was 82 years old.

Miller made Thunder Bay history in 1978 when she defeated Walter Assef to win the city’s top elected position, a role she’d fill until 1980, when Assef got his revenge and took back the seat. Assef also defeated Miller in the 1982 municipal election.

She also served on city council from 1974 to 1978 and from 1985 to 1991.
