Betty Miller

As the morning dawned on Tuesday, September 4, the call was given and an angel was dispatched to Road Ridge in Raven, Virginia to escort Betty Jane Miller home. In the very home she was born into on August 19, 1937 and drew her first breath of life, there she drew her last breath while surrounded by her loving family. Awaiting her at the gates of heaven was her loving husband, Jack and her son Russell, and together they escorted her into Heaven to reunite with all her friends and family. What a joy to see those who had gone on before her, her parents, Jonas and Laura Cordle Baldwin, her brothers, Robert, Elbert and Lee Baldwin along with her sisters, Dora Belle and Ora Nelle Baldwin. As God looked over her life, he reviewed her great attributes, what a loving wife she had been, a loving mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and a true friend to many. She had dedicated her life to being a caregiver to others, always being there in their time of need. Her devotion to her family and church were truly amazing. She loved to volunteer her time to the church and felt like everyone there was her family. She never met a stranger; her heart was an open spring that bubbled of joy and love from within and trickled over to all who came in contact with her. Those who remain here to carry on her loving spirit are her: Daughters; Alice Crigger and husband Claude of Keen Mtn., VA Jackie Thompson and husband Chuck of Road Ridge, VA Brothers: Lindy Baldwin of Richlands, VA Don and Wife Patsy Baldwin of Baptist Valley, VA Andrew Baldwin of Ashville, NC Step-daughter, Becky Harris and husband Jeff of Marion, VA Special Sister-in-law, Liz Baldwin Gibson of Richlands, VA Grandchildren: Jacob Miller and wife Ashley, Cala Crigger Slone, Joshua Crigger, Alisha Sisk and husband, JD, Kristin Smith, Hunter Miller, Ryan Thompson and Jarius Miller.
