Joyce Miller Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Giffin Funeral Home & Crematory on Jan. 7, 2026.
Matthew 7:3-5
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Joyce Ann Miller, 78 of High View, West Virginia, went home to be with her Heavenly Father on January 5, 2026, at the home of her daughter in Capon Bridge, West Virginia.

She is proceeded in death by her parents, husband Holmes M. Miller Sr., who passed away on February 2, 2009, brother Danny Christian, sisters Kaye Tucker and Barbara Peacemaker.
Joyce was employed at Timber Ridge School in Cross Junction, Va up until she became ill, she enjoyed cooking and baking. While working at Timber Ridge School she had the honor of making the Apple Blossom pie in 2019, she was very proud of that accomplishment.
Joyce was a lover of all animals, she fed all animals that appeared unexpectedly at her home. She loved to cook and bake, she could take any ingredient that was given to her and make a meal or dessert. She also loved to crochet, she made many beautiful throws in her lifetime.
Per Joyce's request there will be no service.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; your anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
