Wilna Rachel Miller

Wilna Rachel Miller, age 90, of Beech Grove, Indiana passed away on Thursday December 13, 2018. Wilna was born May 3, 1928 in Morristown, Indiana to Nola Mariah (Barnard) Linville and Luther Chandis Linville. She was a member of Little Blue River Friends Church her entire life. She faced some difficult life situations but rose out of her despair by the faith that God was stronger than the things of this world. At the age of 65, after being a homemaker and caring for her family, she began working at KMART for over 20 years. She was loved by everyone she met, especially at KMART, where her line was the favored checkout lane despite the fact you couldn't see her over the register. She traveled the world with her family and also enjoyed filling in as babysitter for many of her grandchildren. Any guest could expect ice cream or sweets courtesy of her sweet tooth. If you visited later in the day, before your dessert, you would find her reading or keeping her mind active by doing some type of puzzle. She was the ear you could always talk to and she would always be your champion. Wilna is survived by; daughter Angela "Angie" Foley; son Randen Miller (Gail); daughter Alane Harper (Charles "Chuck"); daughter Atina "Tina" Drake (Charles "Charlie"); son Rex Miller; daughter Anita Smith (Ron); brother John Linville; daughter-in-law, Christina "Chris" Miller; 17 grandchildren; 27 great grandchildren; and many extended family members and friends. Wilna was preceded in death by her father Luther Chandis Linville; mother Nola Mariah (Barnard) Linville; husband of 47 years William Berl Miller; infant son Anthony Miller; son Roger Miller; son-in-law Tim Foley; brother Sharon Linville; sister Mary Jean Bennett; brother Joe Linville; and twin brother Bill Linville.
