Marilyn Miller, born on September 2, 1937, in Athens, Texas, passed away on August 14, 2025, in Plano, Texas. She was the beloved daughter of Robert Nelson Miller and Lillie Jean Miller (Pirkle). Marylin moved to Garland, Texas, in 1942, where she attended Garland High School, graduating with the Class of 1956. She furthered her education at Draughon's Business College in Dallas, Texas.

Marilyn was a self-employed co-owner of Miller Electric Co. in Garland, Texas. A devout Baptist, she was actively involved in several organizations, including the Col. George Mason Chapter DAR, Bonnie Flag Chapter UDC, John Cavet NSUS Daughters of 1812, and the Garland High School Alumni.

She was preceded in death by her parents as well as by brothers Bobby Gene Miller Sr., Jim Paul Miller, Ben Robert Miller, and Sally Pearl Miller, and by niece Robin Miller. Marilyn is survived by her sister Betty Sue Miller Szkromiuk, brother-in-law Bill Szkromiuk, and sisters-in-law Nina Stinson Miller, Shirley Mullican Miller, and Billie Griffin Miller. In addition, she will be missed by 13 nieces and nephews, three further generations of great-nieces and great-nephews, and many cousins who were dear to her.

I am a younger brother of Marilyn's sister in law, Shirley Miller. My condolences go out to all on the loss of Marilyn. She was always nice, open and friendly with me. My fond memory of her when I was maybe 8 years old was while I was in the Miller Electric office on Walnut Street, where Marilyn ran the entire ship and kept it afloat. I was melting from the Texas heat, and she offered up a soda pop, an RC Cola, though I was expected to pay the dime for it later on, so as to help her keep her books straight. Such a sad tragedy, RIP Marilyn.
