Luisa Isabel Miller, 65, died Saturday, May 10, 2025 at Rhode Island Hospital surrounded by her loving family. She was the treasured wife of Robert E. Miller for nearly 40 years and devoted mother to her children, Daniel Louis Miller and his wife, Cadence Banulis, and Rebecca Rose Miller and her husband, Stefan Weiss.

Born in Coro, Venezuela, daughter of the late Romulo Rodriguez Campos and Carolina Sanchez Amaya, Luisa immigrated to the United States as a child, growing up in Brooklyn, NY. She had lived in Rhode Island since 1987.
Luisa was a brilliant and dedicated physician. She was an attending in the emergency room at Roger Williams Hospital in Providence. She then went on to work at an in-patient unit for chronically ill patients at Eleanor Slater Hospital in Cranston. Luisa was a talented artist and a voracious reader. She loved the beach, drinking coffee in the sunshine, and tending to her plants. Luisa will be remembered for her resilience, sense of humor, intellect and boundless love for her family and friends.
