Dortha A. Miller
March 13, 1918 - February 27, 2017

Dortha was born Dortha Angeline Ince in Wishart Mo. on March 13, 1918 the daughter of Fred A. and Minnie Irene Ince. She finished the Eighth grade in school.
Dortha moved with the family, parents Fred and Irene, and siblings Maxine, Joe, Kenny, Bernie, and Anna Mae, in 1936, traveling in a 1929 Chevrolet, to a small town, Cozy Basin, in the Marsing area.
Dortha married Chester A. Miller on November 26, 1938 in Caldwell Idaho and they had one daughter Shirley Fae Miller born September 6th 1943.
Dortha and Chester later moved to Emmett for 9 years finally settling in Nampa.

Dortha worked at Birds Eye, which was close enough that she walked to work, Bakers Flower Shop which was her most favorite job, and she did Ironing in her home for a few special people.
A memorial contribution to Pet Haven Humane Society, 333 Orchard Ave., Nampa, Idaho 83651, in her name, would please Dortha very much. Her love for cats was known quite well by all.
