Shirley Ann Miller, 70 years old at the time, passed away at 10:08 a.m. Oct. 20, 2017, in her Silver Lake home.
Shirley was born Aug. 18, 1947, in Wabash. She was the daughter of Dennis B. and Ruth Helton Johnson. She was united in marriage to her longtime companion, Clyde L. Miller, on May 8, 2007.
Shirley was a familiar face at the Silver Lake Mini Mart, where she worked for the last several years. She was strong-willed, quick-witted and spoke what she thought — without apology. She loved birds, especially hummingbirds, and enjoyed tending to her plants. She was outgoing and rarely knew a stranger but most enjoyed time spent with her family.
Those who survive include husband, Clyde Miller, Silver Lake; two children, Lisa (Rob) Daffron, Pierceton, and Duane Allen Boicourt, Indianapolis; and three grandchildren: Sheli Clemons (fiancée Elizabeth Thompson), Fort Wayne; Tia Clemons (fiance Jesse Manns), Warsaw; and Skylar Boicourt, Martinsville. She is also survived by two great-granddaughters, a niece, nephew and sister-in-law, all of whom she loved dearly; and her best friend, Sandy (Dale) Whitworth-Miller.
Shirley was preceded in passing by her parents and a brother, Douglas Wayne Johnson.
The family will receive friends today, Oct. 23, at Titus Funeral Home, 2000 E. Sheridan St., Warsaw, for a time of visitation and to celebrate Shirley’s life. Visitation will be from 2 to 6 p.m., with the service beginning at 6 p.m. Pastor JP Freeman of North Manchester Congregational Christian Church will officiate.
