Obituary
Laura Jean Miller passed away peacefully with family by her side in Dallas, Texas on January 12, at age 87.
Jean was born June 29, 1930 in Hope, Arkansas, to the late Lucian and Laura Miller.
Jean, as she was known by family and friends, grew up in Hope and Little Rock, Arkansas, spending most of her adult life living and working in Little Rock.
First and foremost a dedicated family member, Jean often traveled in order to care for and support family members during times of illness or difficult life-changing events. In fact, she selflessly moved to Dallas, Texas, in 2006 to live with her sister, Esta. Jean's caring nature touched everyone she knew, and she considered all who crossed her path to be family. She made herself unconditionally available, deeply and passionately advocating and caring for others. She was a strong, independent woman with a keen sense of humor and a generous, giving spirit. She was a faithful follower of Christ, baptized in a Baptist church as a young woman in Little Rock. An avid sports fan, Jean enjoyed watching all kinds of sports, but especially loved cheering on her Arkansas Razorbacks with family and friends. She was an adept card player, regularly gathering with friends to play Bridge or Pinochle. She was a long time employee of Rebsamen Insurance Company in Little Rock, where she developed many lifelong friendships. She also worked at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
She is preceded in death by her four brothers: James Miller, Lucian John Miller, Jr., Kenneth Miller, and Reece Miller; and two sisters, Merle Adkins and Esta Vogel.
Jean is survived by nieces and nephews: Nancy Miller Herron, Mark Miller, Jan Miller Dugan, John Miller, Joe Dean Miller, Laura Vogel, and Carla Vogel; and cousins Evelyn Skinner and Shirley Gaston. She also leaves behind many other cousins and great nieces and nephews.
Graveside services will be 1:00 p.m., Saturday, January 20, 2018, in Memory Gardens Cemetery, Hope.
In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to make donations to the Alzheimer's Association or the ASPCA, honoring her deep love for animals.
