Georgia Miller
April 28, 1941 — July 10, 2013
Georgia Ann Fritts Miller, 72, of Marion, passed away on Wednesday, July 10, 2013, after a long battle with cancer and lung disease.
She was born in Harriman, TN, to the late King Coolidge Fritts and Dorothy Delaney Fritts. She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Bill Miller of Marion, VA; children, Emilie Tolliver and husband Steve of Riner, VA, and Jeff Miller and wife Ellie of London, UK; grandchildren, Alice Miller and Oscar Miller of London, UK, and Max Tomlin, Katy Tomlin, and Elizabeth Tomlin, all of Riner, VA; brothers, Jim Fritts and wife Susie of Lenoir City, TN, Wayne Fritts and wife Sherry of Knoxville, TN, and Brent Fritts and wife Karen of Muscle Shoals, AL; as well as a host of other family and friends.
Georgia was Director of the LPN Program at the Smyth County Vocational School for many years. She earned her B.S. in Nursing at the University of Tennessee, and her Masters at the University of Virginia. Throughout her life Georgia enjoyed many pastimes including reading cookbooks, quilting, cross stitching, and most recently painting in water colors. She loved all her family and friends, but above all treasured and dearly loved her grandchildren. Georgia was extremely pleasant and friendly, therefore she never met a stranger and had many friends in the Marion area.
The family would like to send a special thanks to the anonymous lung donor at the UVA Medical Center and express their appreciation for the extra seven years Georgia was able to spend with those she loved.
The funeral service will be held on Monday, July 15, 2013, at 2 p.m. at Auburn United Methodist Church in Riner, VA, with Rev. Scott Wilks officiating. Interment will follow in Sunset Cemetery, Christiansburg. The family will receive friends 1 hour prior to the funeral service.
