Joyce Miller Obituary

Joyce A. Miller, born in 1946, a beloved child of God, died December 24, 2025 at home. She led a blessed life under the direction of God's word. Most important to her was living in a way that showed others who her savior, Jesus is.

Joyce was a member of Grace Community Church of Willow Street. She died at the home of her brother, Charles and his wife Shirley in Willow Street where she has lived the last 20 years of her life. 

Surviving besides her brother and sister in law are a nephew James Miller husband of Jessica, a niece Mindy Paglia wife of Lee and their sons; Luke, Josh, and Cain. 

The boys dog, Dewie and Joyce shared a very special bond.

She is preceded in death by her parents Penrose and Dorothy Miller, her twin, Penrose Jr., who died as an infant and a younger brother James, who died in the Vietnam War.

Joyce will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
