About the Hazel Miller Foundation:
Hazel and Morris Miller were long-time Edmonds residents who loved their communities of Edmonds and South Snohomish County. Upon her death in 2009 a private charitable foundation was established in Hazel’s name to award grants to charities and non-profit organizations operating in the Edmonds and South Snohomish County area. The Hazel Miller Foundation focuses on the areas of:
- Education and youth services
- Poverty alleviation and hunger
- Civic community services and amenities
- The environment
- Culture and the arts
Hazel and Morris were leading business entrepreneurs of their time. Morris was a founding member of Seattle Quilt, one of the original developers of the sleeping bag. Seattle Quilt was sold to Olin Corp. in the 1970s at which time Hazel and Morris retired. They loved to travel together. Hazel loved enjoying Edmonds’ downtown businesses and Morris loved to be out on Puget Sound salmon fishing. Providing scholarships in her name fulfills one of Hazel Miller’s key interests and commitments: supporting the education of youth.

Douglas D. Caldart, Sr. graduated from Edmonds High School in 1947. His joy of music began as a young child listening to the folk and country-western music that his mother Adele Robinson loved. As a young student in the Edmonds School District, he joined the glee club and thus began his life-long love of vocal music. His musical interests soon turned to opera, and he began taking professional voice lessons as a tenor. In his early twenties, while working in San Francisco, California, Doug was accepted into the San Francisco Opera. Unfortunately, family commitments brought him back to Washington State. While he never again sang professionally, he continued his vocal lessons and sang in performance recitals, amateur stage productions and for friends and family. Dorothy Ann Stadler graduated from Edmonds High School in 1949. She developed a love of reading at an early age and carried it through until she passed away in 2022 at 93 years old. She was an avid reader of books and magazines and would read the entire newspaper from the front page to the back page every day, including the sports pages. Though she did not attend college, she read to educate herself about her community, her country, and the world. She read novels, biographies and, by far her favorite, books on history. Dorothy could engage in conversation on topics ranging from local, national, and world politics to entertainment icons from her youth to the present day. She always had something to read with her whenever she sat waiting for any appointment. She would often fall asleep reading in bed with the light on, her glasses on her face, and the book open to the page she was reading. In honor of their memory, Douglas and Dorothy’s children have established a scholarship to be awarded each year to a graduating student from the Edmonds School District, with a focus on students pursuing early childhood education, music, journalism, or literature. Upon successful completion of the first year, a second-year award may be made. |
