Marion Alice Miller

Marion Alice Miller, 85, passed peacefully from this life into eternity on Sunday, March 3, 2019, in Cedar Park, TX. She was born at the Humble Oil Refinery Hospital on June 28, 1933, to Cecil and Lillian Adams of Highlands, TX. In 1951, she graduated from Robert E. Lee High School, then earned a degree in Elementary Education from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX, in 1954. For Marion, who went on to live and teach in Denver, CO, Mansfield, TX, and Mont Belvieu, TX, the Baytown area would always be the place she called home.

Marion will be remembered as a woman of strength and character, who reached out with kind words, a big smile, and genuine thoughtfulness to those around her, and to whom family was everything. She enjoyed tending her potted plants, reading great books and the daily newspaper, and catching up with loved ones. Her faith in God was steady and true: she lived as she believed, persevering through the ups and downs of life, finishing the journey well.

Marion was preceded in death by her parents, Cecil Nelo and Mary Lillian Adams; her husband of 56 years, Raymond Eugene Miller; her daughter, Sherri (Jean) Miller Steele; and her great-granddaughter, Ava Marie Welden. She is survived by three adult children and their spouses, Jody (David) Lane of Bartlesville, OK; Marilee (Dave) Beaupre of Orange Park, FL; and Curtis (Christine) Miller of Leander, TX; eleven grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. She is also survived by sister Cecelia (Bob) Davis of Midland, TX; niece Khris (Tom) O’Grady of Midland, TX; nephew Wes Davis of Ft. Worth, TX; sister-in-law Brenda (Joe) Kirkland of Glenrock, WY; son-in-law Darick Steele of Houston, TX; and many other family members and friends.

A viewing will be held Thursday, March 21, 2019, from 5-8 PM, at Earthman’s Funeral Home in Baytown, TX. Family members will be in attendance. Interment will be at San Jacinto Memorial Park in Houston, TX, on Friday, March 22, 2019, where family will gather for a private graveside service.
