ELSIE ANNIE MILLER

Elsie Annie Miller was born on December 30, 1925 in Summerville, Missouri, to Oscar L. and Mary F. (Schick) Anderson, and passed away on January 23, 2021 in Springfield, Missouri.

Annie was united in marriage to Orval Lee Miller on April 25, 1945. To this union two children were born, Robert Lee Miller and Leonard Dale Miller.

 

She worked as a teacher at Columbia Schoolhouse and Bell Schoolhouse, as a sleeve-setter at Angelica Uniforms, and later as the City Clerk in Mountain View until her retirement. Annie and Orval were members of the Arroll Community Church for many years, and she later attended the church of Christ in Mountain View.

 

Preceding her in death were her parents, Oscar and Mary Anderson; her husband, Orval Lee Miller; five siblings, Hugh Anderson, Audrey Phillips, Fern Easton, and infant brothers Ivan and Dean Anderson; daughter-in-law Gwen Miller; and great-grandson, Darrin Joseph Davis.

 

Annie is survived by her two sons, Robert Lee Miller and Leonard Dale Miller; one sister, Marietta Holden; two grandchildren, Beth Ann Davis and husband Mark, and Amy Lee Miller; and two great-grandchildren, Robert Gene Davis and Janie Suzanne Davis, all of whom reside in Mountain View, Missouri, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.

 

Annie enjoyed sewing, bowling, and traveling when her health allowed. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were the highest joy in her life. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

 

"Strength and honor are her clothing. She shall rejoice in the time to come. Proverbs 31:25"
