Patricia “Patty” Kay Miller passed away peacefully on November 21, 2025. She was a woman whose kindness, warmth, and boundless generosity touched everyone who knew her.
Patty was preceded in death by her mother, Irene Miller; her father, Donald Miller; her brother, Donnie Miller; her aunt, Debbie Simpkins; and her uncles, Rick McCafferty and Arvid McCafferty. She is survived by her beloved son, Randy Miller, who was the light of her life, and by her treasured grandchildren: Destiny Miller, Kaylynn Miller, Adam King, and Chase Miller. She also leaves behind great-grandchildren she loved dearly, Amethyst Hulbert and Kingston Hodge; her aunts Barbara, Cindy, and Rosemary; cousin Bobbi; her sisters, Lila Southworth and Donna Bioty; and her brother, Jake Miller.
Patty lived her life with a heart full of giving. Nothing brought her more joy than making others happy. She had a rare gift for listening—truly listening—and those who confided in her always felt valued and understood. Her son and grandchildren were her world, and she poured all of her love into them.
She was known for her incredible peanut butter pie, a favorite at every gathering, and for her love of the holidays—times she cherished for bringing family together. Patty had the biggest heart, offering comfort, joy, and unconditional love to everyone around her.
She often said, “Always be yourself—everyone else is taken,” a motto she lived by and a reminder she leaves with all who loved her.
Patty will be deeply missed and forever remembered for her kindness, her love, and the joy she brought into every life she touched.
