Edith Viola Miller

Edith Viola Miller, 87, of Sarasota, FL, entered her eternal rest with her Lord-having passed from death into eternal life-on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at the Aviata at Beneva Healthcare Facility.
Born on February 17, 1938, in Milford, Delaware, to Elmer S. Miller and Arie (Bawel) Miller, Edith moved with her family to Pennsylvania at the age of four, and a few years later to Florida. They settled in Pinecraft, Sarasota, where they made their home for the rest of their years. She attended Southside Elementary, Pinecraft Elementary, and Sarasota High School.
Edith began a genuine relationship with her Lord Jesus as a young teenager. She loved attending church and MYF (Mennonite Youth Fellowship). She was a devoted member of Sarasota Community Church (formerly Tuttle Avenue Mennonite Church) for over 65 years.
A woman with a keen eye for detail and art, Edith expressed her creativity through sketches, oil paintings, and photography. For many years, she served joyfully as a Recorder with the Sarasota Audubon Society, a role that reflected her deep appreciation for God's creation.
Edith was preceded in death by her parents, Elmer S. Miller and Arie (Bawel) Miller; her half-sister, Grace Miller; her half-brother, Elmer Truman Miller; and her brother-in-law, Laurence Paul Greenlee II.
She is survived by her sister, Mary Joyce (Miller) Greenlee of Greenwood, DE; her niece, Anita D. Greenlee; her nephew, L. Paul Greenlee III, and his wife, Cathi Miller Greenlee; her niece, Jennifer (Greenlee) Miller, and her husband, Dan Miller; her nephew, Matthew Greenlee; and 14 grand-nieces and grand-nephews.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at 3:00 PM at the Sarasota Community Church.
