Justine Ann Carrelli-Miller

Justine Ann Carrelli-Miller, on May 24, 2023 age 79 of Dolan Springs, AZ and Venice, FL. Beloved wife of Jim Miller. Dear mother of Paul and Dr. John Bertuccini both of Las Vegas, NV.  Loving grandmother of Christina and Ava Rose Bertuccini. Cherished sister of Mary (Bart) Fair and the late John (surviving spouse Pat) Carrelli. Loving aunt to several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents John and Justine (nee Beck) Carrelli.   

Justine was born on Sept. 25, 1943 and grew up in Southwest Philadelphia. In 1956, Justine became a popular regular on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand with dance partner, Bob Clayton. Justine and Bob were America’s sweethearts in the late 50’s/early 60’s. After her time on American Bandstand, Justine landed a singing job with The Paul Dino Review and performed on both the east and west coasts.  Justine married the late Paul “Dino” Bertuccini and had two sons.  Justine became a stay-at-home mom and eventually earned her Real Estate license, practicing in Las Vegas and Dolan Springs, AZ where she continued her real estate career until her passing.  Justine was also a talented sketch artist and could style hair like a professional.  Justine met her current husband, Jim Miller, in 2012 and they married in 2014.  Justine and Jim resided in both Dolan Springs, AZ and Venice, FL. While returning to the Philadelphia area to visit her sister and family, Justine was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm and was admitted to Penn Presbyterian Hospital—the same hospital system her mother, Justine, was a practicing nurse, and just a few blocks away from the American Bandstand Studios.
