She always cherished her memories of her earlier days. She spoke often of how she loved to sing with her siblings on the radio and perform at the Gainesville Civic Center. She loved to plant and grow vegetables in her garden. She would always have the most beautiful garden and couldn’t wait to harvest and preserve the food she had grown. Most of all she enjoyed cooking and baking fabulous meals for her family and friends. Everyone enjoyed going to Nanny’s house and looked forward to eating a delicious meal and visiting with her as often as possible.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Homer, Lyn and Ray Miller; sisters, Claudine Miller, Barbara Lester; sons, Johnny Dale, Greg Garrison; sisters in law, Rachel Miller and Margaret Miller.

Gunter, loving husband of 50 years, daughters, Angie Garrison Ravan, Laurie Bryant (Steven); brother, Harvey Miller; sister and brother in law, Jan and Richard Bull; daughter in law, Debbie Dale; 6 grandchildren, Eric Dale (Ashley), Chad Dale (Mandy), Katrena Peck (Jason), Tara Aulet (Robert), Davey and Dawson Bryant; 9 great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
