Peggy was born June 13, 1946 to the late David Setzer Clarke and Margaret Yoder Clarke of Newton. Also preceding her in death was her husband of 35 years, Phillip J. Miller.
Peggy was educated in the Newton-Conover school system and was a 1964 graduate of NCHS. After retiring from Classic Leather, Inc., of Hickory, St Timothy Division, after 35 years of service, she volunteered at Catawba Valley Medical Center and ECCCM in Newton, and enjoyed being active in her church. She was a faithful blood donor. Peggy would like to thank the congregation of Mt. Olive and Pastor Ralph Abernethy for their love and friendship over many years. Sharing the love and eternal promise of Christ's mercy and forgiveness was the source of her existence. Peggy was blessed by
friends made while working at St Timothy Chair, Fitness Plus, CVMC volunteer program and Christian Ministries in Newton. She loved her good neighbors and was very grateful for them. People who touched her life are too numerous to mention, but these people know who they are.
She is survived by a son, Eric David Miller and wife, Dianne and granddaughter Sophie Miranda Miller of West Linn, Oregon. Eric and his family were such a blessing to Peggy and she delighted in Sophie, the light of her life. She is also survived by sisters in law, Mrs. Sylvia Campbell of Maiden, Mrs. Kathy Turner of Newton, Miss Charlsie Miller of Conover, Mrs. Peggy Morrow of Claremont, and Mrs. Nancy Carroll of Maiden; and several cousins and "best friends". These were the sisters she never had.
The funeral will be at 2:00, Monday, January 25, 2015, at Mt Olive Lutheran Church in Newton, with Rev. Ralph Abernethy, III officiating. Burial will follow at the Yoder plot of Eastview Cemetery.
The family will receive friends prior to the service from 1:00 to 1:45 at the church.
