SPRINGFIELD, IL – F. Earlene Miller, 85, passed away Saturday, October 15, 2022, at

Springfield Memorial Hospital. She was surrounded by her loved ones at the time she

passed.

There are no lessons about ‘Being a great Mother' we can only do our best and hope

that you do it great. Our mother certainly got an A ++ in this and was a loving mother of

five. Our mother was caring, supportive, and a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother,

and friend. Yet she was never one to show a sign of weakness, always witty, gracious,

a jokester and very thoughtful. She was one of a kind and will forever be missed.

She was born August 21, 1937, to Earl and Frances (King) Turner. She married Carl

Otto Miller on September 27, 1958, at Bates Presbyterian Church. She was preceded in

death by her husband, Carl; son, Tom Miller; sister, Mary Ann Turner; sister-in-law,

Linda Turner; and nephews, Michael, and Paul.

Earlene was formerly employed by Franklin Life and later JC Penney. She enjoyed

horses, quilting, putting puzzles together with friends, doing crossword books and

listening to country music.

She is survived by her children, Carlene Miller, Fred (Stacy) Miller, Tami (John)

Ferguson, and Trent Miller (Tom Burkett); eight grandchildren, Josh Miller, Raylene

Bradley, Dale Ferguson, Steven Miller, Brooke Miller, Breanna Bradley, Austin Miller

and Shiann Ferguson; three great-grandchildren, Benton Ferguson, Xavier Aldridge and

Josie Miller; brothers, James (Carol) Turner and Charles Turner; as well as many

nieces, nephews.

Per Earlene’s wishes, no services will be held.
