BRISTOL — Ruth E. Miller, 68, of Bristol, passed away Wednesday, April 5, 2017, at Elkhart General Hospital.
She was born Aug. 21, 1948, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the daughter of Perry “Jay” and Emily (Gallegos) Andrews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; one son, Brian Miller; one grandson, Tyler Miller; and one brother, Larry Andrews.
Survivors include two sons, Matthew (Jana) Miller of Elkhart and Douglas Miller of Chesterton; one daughter, Kristy (Erik) Moberg of Goshen; one sister, Betty (Larry) Sterpka of Brimfield, Ohio; two grandchildren, Gavin Miller of Valparaiso and Zoe Miller of Elkhart.
Family and friends were a passion of Ruth’s. She made every person she met feel as though they were a part of her family. She will always be known for putting everyone before herself including her beloved dogs, Casey, Bandit, and Harley.
She was 100 percent dedicated to everyone and everything they did.
She held an unbreakable passion for her grandchildren Tyler, Gavin, and Zoe. They were what kept her going and she would use every hour of the day if she could to make them happy. Her grandchildren were her true treasures in life.
You will not meet a harder worker than Ruth Miller. Over the years, she worked at Doors Plus, Will Pak, and Phillips 66 where she was loved and respected by all with whom she worked. You usually would find her cooking or baking. Ten people could show up unexpectedly and there would be leftovers every time.
She loved being outside. She had a knack for arranging flowers and enjoyed sitting outside reading her Amish love stories.
Another passion she held was volunteering. She loved working with her daughter’s third-graders at Waterford Elementary School who lovingly called her grandma.
Ruth was a Cleveland Browns fanatic! This caused yearly disappointment, but never wavered her excitement about the next game or season. She was loyal to her teams, but even more loyal to her family and friends.
Her constant encouragement, wisdom and wisecracks will be missed by everyone who knew her.
Memorial services were held at Walley-Mills-Zimmerman Funeral Home, 700 E. Jackson Blvd., Elkhart. A graveside service followed in Rice Cemetery. Pastor Gary Sheets will officiate.
"You are greatly loved and missed by family and friends"
