Little Theater, DAR, Le Dejeuner Luncheon Club and the Southern Luncheon Club.

Reading and travel were by far her favorite forms of entertainment. For over 10 years she was an active 
and devoted member of the Reases Book Club. The members and lively conversations brought her so much pleasure. 
Her favorite travel excursions were to New York City with her daughters and having a marathon Broadway 
experience.

She was a lifelong devoted Episcopalian, joining St. James in the early years of its development. At 
St. James she served on the vestry and the discernment committee, and participated in Education For Ministries 
and Cursillo.

She is predeceased by her parents; her husband; and her granddaughter, Elisabeth Miller.

She is survived by daughter, Sharon Miller; and husband, Jim of Vicksburg; daughter, Melissa Patterson and husband, 
David of Madison County; and son, Baird Smith of Monteagle, Tennessee. She is also survived by one granddaughter, 
Andrea Miller Pound; her husband, Tyson; and their two children, Anne Elise and Lottie. She is also survived by 
her grandson, Randolph Miller, his wife, Laura Allyson; and their daughter, Allie Grace.

The family would like to thank her devoted and loving caregivers. Mary William, Geraldine Reed, Michelle Johnson, 
Helen Geary, Dorothy Edwards and Luanana Jones. They would also like to thank Shannon Hunter, Courtney McKinnis, 
Crystal McKinnis and their families.
