My Grandma Miller

Oh How I love My Grandma Miller. She was such an inspirational woman. I will miss her dearly, but her legacy will live on through our amazingly huge Miller prodigy! Tell Grandpa we all say hello, what a sweet reunion that must have been.

Below is a copy of her obituary, if you have a second you should definitely read it. I was in awe to learn things about her that I had never heard about before.

Love You Grandma!

Dot MILLER Tannie Dot Crump Miller 1914 ~ 2011 Tannie Dot Crump Miller completed her mission on the earth on December 10, 2011 and passed into the arms of her eternal companion James Art, her family, friends and her heavenly parents. She was born in Herriman, Utah on December 11, 1914 to Joseph Henry and Fannie Bodell Crump. She was the youngest of six children, all of whom preceded her in death. Dot lived through World War II and the great Depression which taught her the value of family, industry, and sacrifice. Dot enjoyed sports, especially softball where she was a star pitcher and she was an avid horseshoe fan and competitor. Dot married James Art Miller in the Salt Lake Temple on November 28, 1941 and together they raised four children, James John (Shannon), Suzanne Dot Crane (J. Lynn), Joseph Neil (Charlotte), and Steven George (Marjie). Her husband died in 1967 and Dot lived alone for 44 years. She enjoyed her grandchildren and her family was the crown jewel of her life. She was a friend to many and lived a life of service. Dot was a life long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At age 14 she became the ward organist and served in that calling until her 87th year. Dot had a special touch on the organ and was often asked to play for programs and funerals. She served in many other auxiliary callings, loved the Savior and bore her testimony through her service. Dot was a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and a charter member of the Literary Club in Herriman. She also belonged to a Quilters Guild of Utah. She had a green thumb and enjoyed a reputation of being the lady with the sculptured yard. Dot will be missed by family and friends and her legacy will live on in the lives of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. A special thanks to Kim Miller for her care and service to our mother. Thanks also to care givers Minnie, Valerie, Envision, and Our House Assisted Living.
