Cynthia Miller

Cynthia "Cindy" Louise Miller was the wife of longtime Detroit sportscaster Dan Miller, the play by play radio voice of the Detroit Lions and sports director at WJBK (Fox 2) in Detroit. She was not a public figure in her own right, but she was a familiar and much loved presence to Detroit sports fans because of her devotion to her husband's team. She died on October 10, 2026, and her death was publicly reported by outlets covering the Lions, who noted that Dan Miller was mourning the loss of his wife of 33 years.

Cindy was born on October 3, 1963, in Falls Church, Virginia, to Roy and the late Valerie (Weber) Biondi. According to her obituary from Griffin Funeral Home, she was remembered as a woman whose magnetic personality, infectious humor and welcoming spirit made everyone feel like family. She married Dan Miller and the couple shared 33 years of marriage, raising four children together in the Detroit area while Dan built his career calling Lions games on the radio and anchoring sports coverage on local television.

What made Cindy a familiar figure to Lions fans beyond her husband's broadcast booth was her own passion for the team. She attended every home game, sitting in the fifth row directly behind the Lions bench, a ritual that made her something of a known face among season ticket holders and fellow fans over the years. Her family has said that some of her happiest memories were attending the Lions' two home playoff games in 2024 alongside her daughters, and that she will be remembered as present in spirit whenever the team has its biggest moments.

As of this writing, no cause of death has been made public. The family's obituary and the news coverage that followed focused on her role as a wife, mother and grandmother rather than on the circumstances of her death, and no further medical details have been released.

Cindy is survived by her husband Dan, her children Sammi (Brendan) Burdette, Rikki Miller, Tony (Viona Veseli) Miller and Robbie Miller, her grandchildren Daphne and Cecilia, her father Roy Biondi, and her siblings Gino (Lisa) Biondi, Steve (Marissa) Biondi and Julie (Chris) Griffin. News of her death prompted an outpouring of condolences from Lions fans and from colleagues of her husband in Detroit sports media, many of whom knew her from her regular presence at games.
