Jean Ann "Jean Ann" Miller
March 17, 1926 - Jan. 16, 2022
Jean Ann Conrad was born at home on the family ranch in Imbler, Ore., to Charles "Todd" and Pearl Conrad. She graduated from Imbler High School in 1943 and received awards for all around girl and drama at graduation.
During her school years starting at age 9 Jean Ann raised award winning 4-H steers. She showed the steers in Union County and at the Pacific International Livestock show in Portland. In 1939 she had the Grand Champion steer in the open division which sold for $.60 a pound, the most ever at that time.
During high school she met Edmond Miller from nearby Cove at a dance in LaGrande. After her graduation, they eloped to Boise, Idaho. They were married for 74 years before his death in 2017.
Jean Ann followed Ed to various states and Europe while he served in the Air Force. During those years Jean Ann worked at various jobs including a dentist office, and department stores in several cities.
After the war they returned to Oregon and lived in Corvallis, Cove, LaGrande, Huntington, Lake Oswego, and Beaverton. Jean Ann was a homemaker and mother to three. She volunteered for years at the Lake Oswego Senior Center and later for over 25 years at the Beaverton Schools Continuing Education for Young Parents childcare facility.
Survivors include daughter, Jody (Kip Leonard); sons, Jeff (Laura) and Mark (Jennifer Moffatt); grandchildren, Ross Miller, Reed Miller (Emily), Nick Leonard (Caroline Lafferty), JJ Miller (Abby), Annie Miller, Connor Kelley, Jack Kelley; two great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
Jean Ann was predeceased by her three siblings, Clifford Conrad, June Van Blokland and Wes Conrad.
Jean Ann and Ed's remains will be interred at Summerville Cemetery near Imbler. The family is grateful for the care provided by Hearthstone at Murrayhill and Hospice during Jean Ann's final days.
