She was a woman of many talents. She loved singing and playing the piano, cake decorating, crafts, baking and cooking.

As well as being a lifelong member of the Community Bible Church of Pinehurst, involved in Sunday School, Bible Studies and women’s ministries, she and her husband served with New Tribes Mission (now Ethnos360) for 9 years, returning to reside in Pinehurst in 1976.

She was preceded in death by her parents; stepfather; sister, Avis Ewart; son-in-law, Monte Miller; and granddaughter, Heidi Keele.

Survivors include her husband of 72 years, Hoyt; four children: Ted (Shirley) McClain, Gail Miller, Terry (Peter) Rich, and Debbie (Scott) Ross; 9 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
