Carolyn Sue Miller

Carolyn Sue (Kious) Miller was born April 23, 1945, in Greenville, Illinois. She entered enteral life on May 12, 2022, in Fort Worth, Texas at the age of 77. Carolyn was the fourth child (second daughter) of Richard Sylvester Kious and Jewell Agnes (Spencer) Kious. On July 3, 1965, she married Wayne Lee Miller of Mountain View, Missouri. They were together 36 years prior to Wayne’s passing in 2001. This union produced three daughters: Dawn Renee’, Gina Dail, and Lisa Sue.

As a child, Carolyn began playing piano and organ. Music became her great passion. She was often requested to play at weddings of family and friends. She also learned to play the banjo. She and Wayne would play along with Wayne’s parents at family gatherings/picnics. Carolyn enjoyed all genres of music from classical (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart) to Elvis, John Denver, Neil Diamond, and everything in between. She passed this appreciation of music onto her children. Carolyn also enjoyed reading, sewing, and crocheting.

Once Lisa entered grade school, Carolyn desired to be a medical assistant. She received her Certification and began working in doctors’ offices from the mid-1970’s until 1990. When Wayne became ill, she began working as a front office receptionist until she retired. In 2011, she moved to Mountain View, Missouri. There, she volunteered for the local hospital axillary, assisting in their thrift store and/or sitting with patients in the hospital. She also attended First Baptist Church of Mountain View.

She was preceded in death by her spouse, parents, brothers Freeman, William and Frank, sister Judy Grannemann and in-laws Chester and Eva Grace Miller. Those left to carry on her legacy include: sister, Nancy Glavin (Richard) of Leesburg, GA, daughters Dawn Diyer of Grandview, TX, Gina Evans (Mike) of Richland Hills, TX, and Lisa Miller of Haltom City, TX, grandchildren Amanda, Justin, Cassie, Eric, Sarah (Nic), Ashley and Bradley (Katelynn), great grandchildren Serenity, Lillian, Hailey, Adam, Joseph, Apollos, Nathaniel, Charles (CJ), Caleb and Judah (due August 2022), brothers-in-law Glenn Miller (Joy) of Mountain View, Mo and Calvin Grannemann of St Peters, Mo and a host of nieces/nephews and cousins.

Her daughters would like to thank the staff at Cityview Nursing and Rehab for the care and compassion Carolyn received during her stay these last 6 months. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Heart Association, Alzheimer’s Association or St Jude’s Hospital for Children. She supported these organizations, and they meant a great deal to her.

There will be a Memorial Service June 25, 2022, 10am at Metroplex Family Church (506 Pleasant Manor Ave, Burleson, Texas 76028).
