Joyce Ann Miller, loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on Oct. 4, 2021, three days shy of her eighty-first birthday.
After traveling the world with her husband, she settled in Austin in 1983. Though she had an active social life as an Air Force officer's wife, her true passion was being a mother to her four children and later a grandmother. In fact, after 20 years of working for the Texas State Security Board, she retired and stayed home taking care of her grandchildren while their parents worked. She also worked in children's ministry in Idaho and at Bannockburn Baptist Church in Austin.
Joyce is survived by three children: Tracy Lemmond, Paige Green and Derek Miller, as well as eight grandchildren, and two brothers. She was preceded in death by her husband, Delbert Miller, her daughter Stephanie, and four siblings.
A memorial service will be held Oct. 19 at 10 AM at Bannockburn Baptist Church. If you would like to make a flower contribution in Joyce's memory, please have arrangements delivered to Cook-Walden/Forest Oaks Funeral Home at 6300 West William Cannon Drive, Austin, Texas 78749.
