BUTLER: Norma Lee Miller went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. She was 90.
She was born on June 25, 1934 in Johnstown, Ohio to the late Sterl and Helen (Keller) Crunkilton. On February 4, 1950 she married the love of her life, Richard Miller, and the couple shared 62 wonderful years together until his passing in 2012. Now they are together again.
Norma was a hard working woman with many different talents. Throughout her adult years she was a homemaker for her family, owned her own clothing store- Mad Rags on Lexington Avenue, and spent time as a librarian at the Richland County Public Library Butler Branch.
Her faith was immensely important to her, and she was very active in the North Liberty Community Church. Norma was the active pianist and organist at her home church and also for other churches for the past 75 years. She was involved in numerous women’s bible studies, teaching Sunday school, was a member of the gospel group Jubilee 3, and was a gifted organist- making beautiful music.
In her spare time she enjoyed working in the garden, being a member of the Garden Club, quilting, canning the yields of her garden, reading, and cooking big Sunday dinners for her entire family. Above all else though, Norma loved her family and never missed an opportunity to make memories with her family.
Norma is survived by her children Robert “Bob” (Ruthan) Miller, Penny (Larry) Bechtel, Richard “Jim” (Yvonne) Miller, and Steve (Kelly Bowman) Miller, sixteen grandchildren, forty great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren, siblings Donna (John) Horn, John Richard “Dick” (Sherry) Crunkilton, dear friend Dale Pore, as well as many beloved extended family members and friends.
In addition to her husband, she is preceded in death by her parents and brothers David Crunkilton and James “Jim” Crunkilton.
