Lydia worked hard as a farm wife. She had a big garden, raising vegetable, strawberries, raspberries, and rhubarb. She was also remembered as a good cook and baker who also did a lot of canning. Her raised-doughnuts were especially savored by her grandchildren. She was active in Evangelical United Brethren Church in Seymour, attending Adult Education classes, and the Ladies Aide group.
After her husband died in 1944 she ran their second farm while her son Norman worked the home farm. She milked cows twice a day, and milked cows the morning of the day of the heart attack that sent her to the hospital and which ultimately caused her death.
She died at the Bellan Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin and is buried beside her husband, Reinhold F. Miller, in the Evergreen Section of Highland Memorial Park in Appleton, Wisconsin.
