FREDA L. MILLER

The funeral service for Mrs. Freda L. Miller, 60, of Route 2, Nampa, Ida., who passed away Feb. 13, was held at Nampa First Mennonite Church on Feb. 17, 1971. Rev. Eugene E. Blosser, pastor of the church, and Min. Leland Shetler, pastor at Hammett, Ida. and nephew of Mrs. Miller, were in charge of the service. Interment was at Kohlerlawn Cemetery, Nampa, Ida.

Mrs. Miller was born Dec. 14, 1910 in McPherson County, Kansas and was reared there. She attended schools in McPherson County and later graduated from Hesston College.

She was baptized and became a member of the Mennonite Church as a young girl and had been an active member of the church since that time.

She was married to Floyd E. Miller on Apr. 24, 1932 at Windom, Kan. the Millers had made their home near Nampa since 1960, coming here from Filer, Ida.

Mrs. Miller is survived by her husband, of Nampa, four sons, Floyd, Jr. of Twin Falls, William of Idaho Falls, Edward of Medford, Ore., and R. Keith of Boise; four daughters, Mrs. Clifford (Nadine) Miller of Buhler, Kan., Mrs. Emerson (Rita) Miller of Nampa, Mrs. Terry (Connie) Nofziger of Nampa, and Mrs. Robert (Bonnie) Gerig of Lebanon, ore.; two brothers, Willard E. Brunk of Hesston, Kan., and Ivan E. Brunk of Windom, Kan.; one sister, Mrs. Clifford (Velma) Hartzler of Hydro, Okla.; two step-brothers, Jay Miller and Claude Miller, both of Iowa; five step-sisters, Mrs. Elta Burkholder, Mrs. Ethel Miller, Mrs. Ruth Eash, and Mrs. Mary Hochstedler, all in Iowa, and Mrs. Odena Hostetler of McPherson, Kan; and by 12 grandchildren.

She was a devoted wife and mother and had a deep concern for her family and also for her church. She had a smile for all and exercised great patience through all her illness. Now her sweet spirit has fled to be with Him who gave it. She could say with the apostle Paul, "I have finished my course, henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness."
