Frank Norman Miller

1953 - 2020

Frank Norman Miller, 66, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, at the home he shared with his beloved wife on Thursday, January 16, 2020 after a long, courageous fight with cancer. Frank was born October 11, 1953 in New Orleans, Louisiana and it was there that he began his lifelong love affair with the food and culture that defines the Bayou State. To Frank, there was nothing better than a boiling pot of crawfish or gumbo cooking on the stove. For many years, he worked as a tugboat captain before going offshore to work as an oil production operator. Thirty years ago, Frank moved to Covington, where he fulfilled his dream to raise horses, sometimes as many as eight at a time. There he lived with Mary, his wife of 42 years and the love of his life. Frank and Mary began their life together January 16, 1978, and Frank earned his angel wings on that same day 42 years later. Together, they raised their son, Chad, surrounded by the horses Frank loved and the hot rods he enjoyed rebuilding. Frank was a loving husband, father, and then grandfather to Mia Miller, who brought so much joy into his life. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Frank is survived by his wife, Mary Lewis Miller; his son, Chad Norman Miller; his granddaughter, Mia Miller; his mother, Jacqueline Miller; and his siblings, Steve Miller, Roger Miller, Veda Redman, Belinda Tassin, and Lance Miller. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, whom he dearly loved. He is preceded in death by his father, Vertis Miller; his maternal grandparents, Arthur and Mildred Schwall; and his paternal grandparents, George and Veda Wainwright Miller. A gravesite service will be held at Bayou LaCroix Cemetery in Waveland, Mississippi, January 25, 2020 at 2 PM.
