Marilyn L. Miller

Marilyn L. Miller, 93 years old, of Elkhart, Indiana passed away the morning of Monday, October 28, 2024. She was born on July 21, 1931 in Elkhart to the late Robert Q. Sloat and Grace M. Cook. She was preceded in death by her parents, as well as her sisters, Betty J. Gilkey and Evelyn M. Miller.

Marilyn was united in marriage to James Miller, Jr. on her birthday, July 21, 1956 in Elkhart. After many wonderful years together, James passed away on April 5, 2004.

Marilyn worked as a factory assistant at CTS, where she was a Quarter Century Club member. After being employed with them for 43 years, she finally retired in 1993. Although Marilyn was a wonderful cook, she did enjoy eating out at her favorite restaurants. She always stated “let them do the dishes”.
