Carol Ann (Rowden) Miller, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and cherished friend of Dixon, Missouri, passed away on Monday evening, October 20, 2025, at the age of 88.
Carol was born on October 30, 1936, to Ovid and Jessie (McKee) Rowden in the Wheeler Community, near Vienna. She attended grade school at Wheeler School House through 8th grade and then attended and graduated from Vienna High School, where she was crowned as Vienna High School's very first Homecoming Queen.
