Obituary for Betty Ruth Miller
Betty Ruth Miller was born on January 16th, 1935 in Mandarin, Florida to the late Gracie Thomas Howard and Marie Moseley. She attended the Duval County Public Schools. Betty was saved as a young woman, joined the Pentecostal Church of the First Born and married Deacon Eddie Thomas. She took in and cared for her grandmother, Catherine for 10 years and her grand aunt, Louise for 8 years.
Betty later met and married Leroy Miller and joined Gateway Pentecostal Mission UHC, under the leadership of Pastor Elder, Clifford Vickers and Assistant Pastor, Elder Louise Vickers. She became a devoted mother to the church where she loved to praise the Lord in song and dance until the Lord called her home.
While working as a volunteer for the City of Jacksonville’s Independent Living RESPITE Program for almost 20 years, Betty, as a senior herself loved meeting her elderly clients and making them laugh until her health recently prohibited her to continue.
Betty loved fishing, her vegetable garden, her flowers, daily walking, meeting her neighbors, and kids. She also loved cooking and baking cakes for love ones, especially on their birthday.
Betty departed this life on Friday, December 9th, 2016 in Jacksonville, Florida at the age of 81. She was preceded in death by her parents; sons, Jerry, Joseph, Charles, and Ronald Howard; grandmother, Catherine; brother, Bobbie Lee Davis; aunt, Louise; special aunt, Leola Burney; and Eddie.
