Carlene Miller

I have been thinking about Ms. Miller recently. I credit her for much of my good grammar and writing ability. I read not long ago that in text messages or on social media, it is not necessary to space two spaces after a period, that this is only for typing. However, whenever I begin to type a sentence without proper punctuation or grammar, my thoughts fly to our beloved teacher and friend, and I correct myself. Much love.

Ms. Miller was not only an excellent teacher, she was always kind and supportive. And I don't remember her ever scolding anyone. She was firm and direct if necessary, but it seems she always looked at her students as the people they were, not annoyances. It still brings tears to my eyes remembering her, and reading the lovely tributes here, by both students and faculty friends. You were one of the best, Miss Miller. The best of people. I still miss you.

Ms. Miller was one of my favorite teachers at THS! I always remember her love for her dog, Blue, and her great sense of humor! I'm so sorry to know that she's gone, but she'll live in my soul forever.

Ms. Miller was always an inspiration to me. I was never the greatest at writing, but after her class, I felt that I was capable of writing anything. She inspired me to go outside my comfort zone and write extrordinary papers and inspirational poetry. If it were't for her I would have never thought I was capable.
She was one of my inspirations when I chose teaching as a career. I can only hope to be half the teacher she was, and even then I will be great! Ms. Miller was phenominal and...

Laughter was common in her classroom: produced by one of her stories or by someone's outlandish interpretation of Tennyson.
At a time when I was learning "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" I could escape from the angst of youth into her world of creativity and "journey of letters."
I'd like for her surviving family to know that for every posting here, there are hundreds of others who will feel loss and sadness at her passing.

Miss Miller was one of the most exceptional educators I ever had the privilege to encounter. Her influence carried far beyond her class room. For many years after graduation she was a positive energy in my life. I remember calling her on many occasions to discuss what was happening in my life and catch up on what was happening with hers. At the end of our conversations she inevitably would recommend a book for reading which would provide needed insight to what I was going through at that...

I was in Miss Miller's writing class right after I moved to Florida, and her kindness helped me adjust during what was a very difficult time. I remember her most fondly and affectionately.

Ms. Miller's passion for literature was unmatched. As one of her students in the mid 70's, I am forever indedted to her for instilling that passion in me. God speed Ms. Miller. You are forever in our hearts.
