Tami Marie Miller

Tami was born Nov. 29, 1957 in Normal, the daughter of Mary and Hugh Miller.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Rhonda Miller and brothers, Ace, Al and Michael Miller.

She is survived by daughter Kristin (Alex) McNamee, Apple Valley, Minn.; grandson Rory McNamee; sisters, Patti Popejoy, Bloomington; Linda Miller, Normal; Sue Alcorn, Bloomington; brother, Brett Miller, Tuscon, Ariz.; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Tami took her new role as grandma with immense pride, showing off her grandson to anyone who would indulge her. She loved spending time with her girlfriends, going to concerts, and playing BINGO. She also enjoyed the occasional murder mystery on ID channel.

Tami was loved by many. With a gentle heart and a bit of sass, she made friends easily. As an extremely loyal friend, she was always the first person you called when you wanted to have fun or when you just needed a friend.

She was an avid Cardinals fan, attending many games including multiple World Series games and the last game at the old Busch Stadium. When she wasn’t working, she could occasionally be found with a Miller Lite in hand, enjoying life.

Tami was an extremely hard worker, working multiple jobs for most of her life. She began working at Original Smith Printing, now Curtis 1000, in 1994 as a Collater Operator and continued working for the company as a Shipping Clerk up until the time of her death.

A visitation will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, May 27, 2021 at East Lawn Funeral Home. A private memorial service will be held at a later time.
