ETHEL MILLER
SIEGEL, 93, of

Bloomfield Hills, died
Feb. 9, 2014.
Ethel was born in
1920 to her loving
parents, Joseph Miller,
born Nathan Schulman
Ethel Siegel
in Austria in 1879, and
Sarah Miller, nee Sarah
Levy born in New Jersey in October 1890.
She always had the spirit of achieve-
ment. As a young lady, she first made the
newspapers when she was the highest sell-
er of war bonds to support the U.S. troops

during World War II. Ethel decided to put
her war bond sales techniques to work
and became a pioneer in representing
the manufacturing industry. As an aspir-
ing saleswoman, she joined her brother
William in starting Miller & Associates, a
firm specializing in representing manufac-
turers throughout the United States.
Ethel earned fame from her success
in representing and bringing to market
the Hula Hoop and bringing Coppertone
to market in Michigan and the upper
Midwest.
In her final days, prior to retiring,
Ethel traveled and worked for Mallory

Industries, selling snowbrushes, sponges,
squeegees, aluminum poles and other
items. She will be missed.
On Feb. 4, 1961, Ethel married Joseph
Siege Jr.
She is survived by her sister-in-law,
Caroline S. Miller; her nieces and neph-
ews.
She was preceded in death by her broth-
er, William H. Miller, (1918-2007); and her
husband, Joseph Siegel Jr. (1918-1996).
Interment will be in the Siegel Family
Mausoleum, Woodmere Cemetery in
Detroit. Arrangements by Ira Kaufman
Chapel.
