Lorraine Miller Obituary
Always an educator, Lorraine took special interest in genealogy, especially after her retirement. She never missed a holiday or birthday, but always gave gifts that would enrich a child-especially a book. Lorraine enjoyed spending time with friends and family, and grew especially close to her friend Norma Green, who began work with her in 1960. Norma's family "adopted" Lorraine, and the two have been close ever since.
Lorraine will be missed by her step-sons Terry and Kenny Miller; nephew Kirk Mickelson,niece Kathy Mickelson, niece Keely and Andy Nelson(sons Jens and Kell), nephew Kjel Mickelson, and nephew Kregg Matthew Mickelson, and dear friend Norma Green and family. A memorial service will be held at the Gresham Seventh-day Adventist Church (223 SE Cleveland Ave, Gresham, OR 97080) on Saturday September 13, 2014 at 3pm. Contributions may be made in Lorraine's name to the Hood View Junior Academy, PO Box 128 Boring, OR 97009. Arrangements under the care of Lincoln Memorial Park and Funeral Home.

Wishing I might have had more opportunity to spend with Lorraine she was
a delight.
I loved listening to Lorraine and Earl Stanley reminisce.
