Jerry Lee Miller Sr.

Jerry Lee Miller Sr. was born October 5, 1938 in Ligonier, Indiana, the fourth of six children to Doris Crusen Miller and Ura Clinton Miller. Graveside services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Monday, September 30, 2024 at Bethlehem cemetery in Whitney, Texas.

For more than fifty years, Jerry was an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous. He was 54 years clean and sober at the time of his passing. Jerry was a very outgoing person and never seemed to know a stranger. His purpose in life as he saw it was to share what he had been given in A.A. He was known to say " he had been given through A.A the keys to hell, to let him out."  He wanted to see as many that would accept the help of A.A., could also find it. 

Jerry was preceded in death by his parents and beloved second mother, Virginia Tope Miller; brothers, Harold Miller, Gerald Miller and wife, Sue Ann, Monte Tope and wife Janice; three sisters, Mary Burns, Dorthey Steir, and Carol Miller; daughter, Susana Arnold; granddaughter, Kaylee Chastain; and an infant great-grandson, Isaac Cowan.

Jerry is survived by his wife of 41 years, Jill Miller; sons, Terry Cowart and wife Laura, Gary Miller, and Jerry Miller Jr.; daughters, Jillanna Harris and husband Richard, Georgiana Clark and husband Joe; three grandsons, Michael Miller, Dandy Cronce Jr., and Tayte Arnold; granddaughters, Leann Cowart, Sarah Cowart, Ashleigh Blumrick, Sarah Wilkerson, Amanda Velarde, and Madison Arnold; two brothers, Jack Tope and wife Rosalee, Gary Tope and wife Peggy; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews; 17 great-grandchildren and a large number of very dear friends.
