Gail Miller Obituary
Gail was an active member of East Hill Church of Christ throughout her time in York and beloved teacher of science to thousands of students at York College. Gail and Ray loved welcoming friends, acquaintances, and new move-ins into their home. Countless students found a sanctuary at their home. Gail will be remembered for her life of service to various schools and churches she attended throughout the country.
Gail loved spending time with family and friends, traveling with her husband to look at the natural wonders of the earth, and the color purple. Although she had many titles during her life, her proudest title was that of GG to her grandchildren. Watching her grandchildren grow up and present countless talent shows to everyone's amusement were highlights of family get-togethers.
Gail is survived by her husband Ray of York; son Les (Pam) Miller of York; daughter Lynn (Jay) Powers of Spanaway, Washington; grandchildren Madelynn and Audrey Miller of York, and Hayley and Chase Wunder of Spanaway; her sister Pam (Rick) Henderson of Knightstown, Indiana; brother Alan (Susan) Welker of Murfreesburo, Tennessee; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents.
Funeral services are scheduled for 10 a.m., Saturday, September 24, 2022 at East Hill Church of Christ in York. Private family burial will be held at Greenwood Cemetery in York. Visitation will be held on Friday from 1-8 p.m., with her family greeting friends from 5-7 p.m., at Metz Mortuary.
Memorials can be sent to York University (York, Nebraska) for the L. Ray and Gail Miller endowment for the sciences.
Condolences may be emailed to Metz Mortuary. Messages will be given to the family.

Gail and many others share memories of Camp Indogan in Indiana. Then many went to Harding for further education we continued to be friends. Sorry to have let those friends fall away. Miss those days.

What a wonderful time growing up with Gail. There was never a dull moment as she lived life fully--always with a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on, and an ever ready, "oops, we'll fix that!" Gail was forever optimistic, a delight to have around, not afraid to try something new, and someone you could count on no matter how many miles separated you. Though she will be missed, she leaves wonderful memories stored in my heart!

PS: Ray, thanks so much for your note--that was a hard one. Please know that you are in our hearts and prayers. When Gail was here just prior to covid, we discovered that Lynn lives near our Mandy in Washington state. We'd love to see you when we are out there next spring!
