Margit King Miller
March 31, 1941 – October 9, 2022
Margit King Miller, 81, of Lusby passed away October 9, 2022, at CalvertHealth. She was born March 31, 1941, to Boyd and Margaret A. (Shields) King. Margit grew up in Calvert County, graduating from Calvert High School. She attended Moravian University.
Margit worked various jobs throughout her life, including for her father’s company, King Communications and an answering service she founded in Calvert and St. Mary’s counties. Margit has been a journalist for many years, working for Southern Maryland New Net and Calvert Live. She was best-known as the Editor-Owner of CalvertBeacon.com, an online news publication.
Margit loved life. She made many friends as she covered and wrote stories for the CalvertBeacon.com, always taking many photos. Margit felt photos made the story, allowing readers to “view” the event through the many photographs included. She was very active and generous to many local organizations. Margit loved music and enjoyed going out to hear several local musicians. She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Arick L. Lore Unit 274, donating time to several veteran programs. Margit also was a big supporter of our local Sheriff’s Departments in both Calvert and St. Mary’s counties. She was a Lifetime Delegate of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7.
Margit is survived by her children Patty Ann Miller, North Carolina, and John Frederick Miller III, Lexington Park, Maryland; by her brothers and sister, Frederick Boyd King and his wife Shirley of Louisiana; Candace “Candy” King Willett and her husband Chuck, of California, Michael King and his wife Wanda of Prince Frederick, Maryland; and Christopher Alan King and his partner Clem of New York; and many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by many, many friends whose hearts she touched throughout her life.

My heart sank when I heard of Margit’s death. As time, distance, and life separate us from each other, it is those times of connection that we value the most. Margit and I stayed in touch in a small way, through Christmas card exchanges each year. That simple act said, “I am here and I wish you well-I remember you. This year, I will feel the void of not hearing from Margit.
I send my love to all those who were a part of Margit’s life, especially family.
Mike and the rest of the family, Sincerest condolences to you in the passing of your sister Margit. Although I did not know her as well as I know some of you, I know you have wonderful memories to sustain you during this difficult time. May she rest in peace after being reunited with your parents. She will be writing her news articles in heaven.
Margit my wonderful friend,
I am so sorry to say goodby. We have been friends for over 20 years. I have so many lovely memories. I am so glad we had those last few days together. You were a great community leader.
God speed my friend. You will be so sadly missed…

Sandy
