Mary Miller

Mary L. Miller, 66, of Wheelersburg, went to be with her Lord on Thursday, August 9, 2018, at Best Care in Wheelersburg surrounded by her family.  Born on March 28, 1952, she was a daughter of the late James and Darlene Smith Blankenbeckley and retired from Fresenius Medical Care in Portsmouth.

A 1970 graduate of East High School, she was a proud and active member of New Boston First Church of the Nazarene.  Mary attended Shawnee State University and Ohio University and formerly also worked at both Hill View and the Southern Ohio Medical Center.

Besides her love of her Lord, she had great pride and pleasure being with her grandchildren.  She was excited to attend many Wheelersburg football games, and particularly journeying to Canton to watch her grandson, Jalen, win the Ohio State Championship.

Also preceding her in death were two brothers, Jimmy and Russell Blankenbeckley.

Surviving are her husband of 48 years, Michael D. Miller, three sons, Mark (LeAnn) Miller of Wheelersburg, Matthew (Christy) Miller of Minford and Neil (Lindsay) Miller of Hamilton; a brother, Michael Blankenbeckley of Eugene, Oregon; the pride of her life-eight grandchildren, Logan, Christian, Caleb, Jalen, Caleigh, Lila, Rosalie and Vivian and several nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Mary’s Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday at the BRANT FUNERAL HOME IN SCIOTOVILLE with Pastor Mike Lanning and Rev. Oscar Perry officiating.  Interment will be in Sunset Memorial Gardens.

The family will receive guests at Brant’s after 11:00 a.m. on Monday.
