Katherine Loraine Miller, also known as Kaye, age 88, was born September 23, 1937, in Berne, Indiana, and died June 26, 2026. She resided in Knoxville, Tennessee. Kaye will be remembered with deep respect and enduring affection, held close as a beloved presence whose steady devotion shaped the lives and faith of those around her.
Kaye was a registered nurse and served others through her work in Indiana, Georgia, and Tennessee. Her calling was evident not only in her profession, but also in the care and constancy she offered in everyday life. She was also a founding member of the Mennonite church in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, reflecting a lifelong commitment to faith and community.
Kaye was married to Lloyd C. Miller for 65 years. Her family—four children, eight grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren—stands as a lasting part of her legacy and a testament to the devoted love that guided her home.
In quieter moments, Kaye found joy in being an avid gardener and bird watcher, and she loved puzzles and reading—simple pleasures that spoke to a thoughtful spirit and a life well tended.
Kaye was very devoted to Beulah United Methodist Church and was involved with her Women of Grace group at Calvary Baptist Church. The family expresses gratitude to the congregations at Beulah United Methodist Church and the members of her women’s group for their care and support.
Kaye is survived by her daughter, Gwendolyn Sue Timmons (John); her sons, Kirk Miller (Rachel), Les Miller (Marilyn), and Scott Miller (Lynn); her grandchildren, Sean Timmons (Lesley), David Timmons (Cherish), Darrin Miller (Chris), Kevin Miller (Shelby), Caitlin Hoffman (Ethan), Landon Miller, Trygve Miller, and Jori Miller; her great-grandchildren, Korwynn Timmons, Miriam Timmons, Lorelei Timmons, Franklin Miller, Maxwell Miller, and Gabriel Hoffman; and her brothers, Claren Lehman and Doyle Lehman.
