Willetta C. (Billie) Miller completed a 91 year adventure of life at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 17, 2010. She began her adventure on Christmas Eve, 1918 in Winfield, Alabama. Her early adult life was spent as an Army wife, making a home and raising a daughter and son where ever the army sent her Army Pilot husband. When her husband retired from the army to pursue a second career at the U.S. Army Aviation Test Activity at Ft. Rucker, Alabama, Billie became a dedicated member of the local community participating in and supporting numerous local charitable activities until her husband died in 2003. At this point, suffering from Alzheimer's, she sought and found a soft place to land at the Montebello in Albuquerque. For the past seven years she has enjoyed the highest quality of life which someone with her disability could wish for. She will be missed by the many close friends she developed at the Montebello during this time. She will also be missed by her many friends in Alabama. Billie is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth Crawford and Mr. Joe Crawford of Albuquerque, NM; her son, Mr. Keith Miller and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Joni Miller of Rolla, MO; grandchildren, Mr. Clinton Crawford and fiance Sheree J. Glaze of Centerville, VA, LTC Clifford Crawford, U.S.Army, Helen and their son Sam, twins Amanda and Erin, Mrs. Chantel Pruitt and her husband Capt. Keith Pruitt of Honolulu, HI, Stephanie Newman and husband Keith Newman of Rolla, MO; and great-granddaughters, Ashley and Taylor Newman of Rolla, MO. Billie will be returned to Dothan, AL to be interned with her husband Samuel Miller. A Celebration of Billie's life will be held at The Montebello, 10500 Academy NE on Friday, February 26, 2010, 3:30 p.m. Those wishing to do so may make a donation in her name to the Alzheimers Associaion, 9500 Montgomery NE, Suite 209, Albuquerque, NM 87111.
