Miller, Celia "Dolly" May

Celia "Dolly" May Miller was born on April 18, 1936 to Leigh and Mable Miller on their farm in Perrinton, Michigan.  She was a middle child between two brothers, Richard and Donald.  She met Howard Lindsay at church where his brother was pastor.  They were married June 12, 1954 and started their grand adventure together.  Howard became a pastor in the United Methodist Church, and Dolly relished her role as pastor's wife. They had 4 children and served at various churches in Michigan and Wisconsin. Dolly loved God, her family, her church communities, and the beauty of flowers and birds.

Dolly left her earthly body on February 24, 2024 and flew with angels to rest and dance with Jesus and her beloved husband.  

She was preceded in death by her husband, Howard, her brothers, and her parents.  She is survived by her four children, Diane (Rick) Newman, Deborah (Garth) Kutzke, Denise (Charles) Oelig, and Doug (Brenda) Lindsay, as well as sisters-in-laws Bonnie Miller, Eileen (Cletus) Kramer, Carol Childs, and Marlys Porteen, 7 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren.
