Janice Miller

Nov. 5, 1931 – Aug. 15, 2022

Janice Miller (Mom, Nanny, Sis, Aunt Janice), originally of Spencer County Indiana, went home to Jesus with family by her side on Monday, Aug. 15, 2022. She is reunited with her husband of 73 years who preceded her earlier this year.

She lived 91 years full of strength and love. Standing by her husband’s side, she supported his ministry in the United Methodist churches for over 60 years. Throughout that time, they provided a home and love to over 50 foster children. A talented homemaker, seamstress, farmer, and avid gardener (with a green thumb that could grow anything), She loved to cook and had catering and cake decorating skills that were the envy of most of her family. She enjoyed feeding and caring for any birds that were nearby, as well as helping to raise and care for many animals–as long as they stayed clear of her garden. She was a natural caretaker and looked after many friends and loved ones in their time of need. In the last years, spending time with her great granddaughters brought her laughter and joy.

Survivors include her son, Joe L Miller; daughter, Carla (John) Schetzsle; granddaughters, Kali Schetzsle (David Rigdon) and Kristi Schetzsle (Bill Stull); great granddaughters, Aailyah Keys and Brielle Stull; sister, Dianna Enlow; nieces, Sandra (John) Roberts, Mary Jo (Charlie) Patterson and Francy Miller; nephews, Wally Murphy and Matthew (Gayle) Enlow.

The immediate family will have a small life celebration at Burkhart Funeral Home in Crawfordsville, no service to be held. Please help to honor her love with contributions made to the United Methodist Youth Home.
