Deb Millin has been a member of the Brown Funeral Home staff since 2024. She began working in the funeral profession in 2020 and has found great fulfillment by serving the Niles community in this meaningful manner. Deb assists families before the time of need when they are at their most calm and collected. She helps ensure that an individual’s wishes will be carried out as they desire, sparing future worry or anxiety.
Deb spent over a decade as a radio DJ, and the majority of her career was at WFRN and U93 radio stations. During her time on the air, she enjoyed the opportunity to shine the spotlight on her listeners and had the privilege to share their stories. That passion carries through each prearrangement she does at Brown Funeral Home, as she tells the stories of individuals through advance planning.

Deb and her husband Brent DJ weddings together. She also emcees local charity events periodically. Her love for radio has never quite faded, as each day she hosts a radio show on KAMB in California, remotely from the comfort of her own home. Deb is excited about and involved with all of the activities that her kids Connor, Amelia, and Esmae take part in. She is on the board of the Performing Arts Workshops and enjoys watching her kids take the stage.

Deb is someone we value immensely at Brown Funeral Home. Thank you for all the hard work you do for us and for the families we serve!
