Continuing their parents' philanthropic legacy daughters Mary Lou Johnson and Barbara Ann Polley established the George F. and Mary Ellen Miller Memorial Scholarship in 2021. Previously, the family provided funding for an annual lecture series founded on innovations in the apple and soft fruit industry. George Miller's lifelong fruit broker career started in the hard times 1920's and early 1930's when he found new markets for cull apples which were previously deposited in the nearby Columbia River.
