Citrus County Chronicle (Crystal River, FL) - Saturday, May 2, 2009
Deceased Name: Garnet Miller
Crystal River FL United States

Garnet Field Miller, age 85, of Crystal River, FL, died May 2, 2009 at Life Care Center in Lecanto, FL. Born on March 25, 1924 to David A. and Ruth McCallen Field in Memphis, TN. She graduated from Southwest at Memphis, now Rhodes College and was a member of Delta Delta Delta Sorority.

Garnet married the late Samuel Rush Miller Jr. on December 22, 1946 when he returned from World War II. She moved to Crystal River in the spring of 1955 with her husband Dr. Sam Miller and her young family.

Garnet joined the First Presbyterian Church of Crystal River where she organized a Sunday School, then the Junior Choir, Junior Church and Vacation Bible Schools. She became involved with Word of Life Fellowship and formed a bible club for teenagers in her home, fielding retreats and even tour bus trips to camp in upstate New York. In 1970 she took the role of director of the Key Training Center which, at that time, included all special education for Citrus, Hernando and Pasco counties. After turning the reins over to Chet Cole, she took the interim role of social case worker. She toured the state as a speaker for Stonecroft Ministries and Christian Women's Clubs.

In January, 1983 she and her husband, Sam, joined with a small group to form what became Seven Rivers Presbyterian Church. When Seven Rivers Christian School was formed in 1988, she sat on the original board of directors. Today, she joined her beloved husband Sam in heaven where the roses are constant blooming.

She is predeceased by her older sister Gwendolyn LaRue and her husband of 59 years.

She is survived by six children Vicki Morris, Suffolk, Virginia, Margie Miller, Crystal River, Florida, Sam Miller, Osprey, Florida, Katie Boddie, Pendergrass, Georgia, John Miller, Ormond Beach, Florida and Dan Miller, Orlando, Florida; one sister, Marguerite Field Hoerl of Andover, MA; seventeen grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren.
