In Memory of Beth Millner

The Gallery Marquette sadly joins the community as we all mourn the shocking passing of Beth Millner.

A GoFundMe has been organized to assist Beth’s employees.

The following was written by Gallery Marquette artist Kristianna Harris Pfaffle.


A pillar of the community is lost, and Marquette will be grieving her absence for a long time to come.

Beth Millner, owner of Beth Millner Jewelry, was a community luminary, blazing a path as a successful businesswoman of the arts. But she was so much more than that. Most artistically-minded locals knew her, either for the multiple awards she’d earned over the years, or personally via the city’s thriving arts community. Beth was admired for her enthusiastic support of entrepreneurs and creatives, always supporting and encouraging local artists, offering freely of her experience and knowledge. Also an avid philanthropist, Beth and her company donated thousands over the years to many local charities and projects.

Beloved by so very many, our community has lost a shining light, a true friend, and Marquette will be forever dimmed without her.
