Alice Miller

1944 - 2014 | Obituary

Alice Miller, 69, passed away Friday, Feb. 7, 2014, at her home in Newton.

Alice was born on March 21, 1944, to Burley and Marguerite (Romigh) Starks in Wichita. Her early years were spent in Chase County, mainly Cottonwood Falls. In 1957, the family moved to Newton. She graduated from Newton High School in 1962 and also attended Bethel College and Wichita State University.

She married Harold L. Miller on April 11, 1965, in Newton. He preceded her in death in 2010.

Alice worked for Hesston Corporation before starting her family. She later joined the law firm of Somers, Robb and Robb, serving as a legal assistant for more than 35 years. She was an active member and volunteered as the church secretary of Eastside United Methodist Church for many years.

Alice was very active in our community, serving in many capacities for various organizations. Her home was the hub for celebrations of family and friends. Family was very important in her life. Alice was a very warm, kind and accepting person; she served as a mentor for many young people and was always willing to help others.

Even when faced with the tragic loss of family and friends and her own terminal illnesses, she never lost her passion for reaching out. Through all these trials, her faith grew ever stronger. She will be missed and remembered by all who knew her.

She is survived by her daughter, Julie Stenzel and spouse, Eugene; her precious grandchildren, Abby, Kyle and Luke Stenzel; sister, Halicia Motter and husband, Leland; brother-in-law, James Miller and spouse, Mildred; adored nieces and nephews, Crystal, Christopher, Cory and Cameron Motter, Vickie and Cindy Miller, and Kevin and Jim Miller; and a step-brother, John Lenke.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Harold L. Miller Jr.; son, Brian Miller; parents, Burley and Marguerite Starks; and step-mother, Anna Mae Starks.
