Mrs. Miller was born September 21, 1938 in Champaign, Illinois to parents Paul and Nancy (Baily) Greenwell. She married Harold Glenn Miller October 26, 1958. He preceded her in death December 13, 2003.

Surviving Mary Ann are two sons, Michael Miller (Laurie), of Ogden, and Jesse Miller, of Paxton, sister, Jennie Rodgers, of Champaign, three grandchildren, Blake, Shane, and Christina Miller, and one great-grandson, who will be born in February. Mary Ann was also preceded in death by her parents, two sisters, and one brother.

Mrs. Miller had a wide range of occupational talents. Among her favorite workplaces were Holiday Inn, where she was a Restaurant Manager, and Western Bowl.

In addition to volunteering with the Amvets Auxiliary, she enjoyed watching her grandsons play in the St. Joseph youth football league. In later years, she became an avid fan of the Illini women's basketball team.

Mary Ann always put those she loved before herself. Although she missed her husband dearly after his passing, she took pride in her independence. One of her greatest joys was helping others.
