Dorothy Miller

March 01, 1930 - January 12, 2018

MILLER, Dorothy (age 87) - - Dorothy Alva Miller, peacefully went to be with the Lord on Friday, January 12, 2018 in Spokane, WA. She was preceded in death by her parents Dorothy and Alva Hankins of Billings, MT, her husband of 32 years, Clifford Miller and her beloved Carl Cook of 19 years, Spokane, WA; her sisters; Jessie Aders and Shirley Sandison of Billings, MT. She was survived by five children; Marvin Larry Miller, Dorothy Lorraine (Steve) Council, Leon Miller, Lynne (Sharon) Miller and Lori (Ken) Kleven. Also survived by her grandchildren (Michelle, Amber, Michael, Noni, Chris, Keith and Nick) as well as close family & friends; Jeannie Miller, Charles Miller, Tom, Claudia & Diane Cook, nieces, nephews and great grandchildren. Dorothy was born in 1930 and grew up in Billings, MT until marriage, then settled in Spokane. She loved to travel over the years where she collected many state spoons. She also collected bells and buttons, enjoyed to treasure hunt at sales and had square danced in past years. She was a current member of Sinto Senior Activity Center where she loved to play Bingo. - - Her farewell poem to all: MISS ME BUT LET ME GO When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little but not for long, And not with your heads bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me but let me go. For this is a journey that we must all take, And each must go alone. Its all part of the Masters plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me but let me go. - - At Dorothys request, no funeral services will be held. We would like to thank Horizon Hospice and Royal Park Retirement Center staff for all the care she received. Dorothy was a much loved daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, companion and friend and will be greatly missed by all.
