Eleanor Faye Miller

Eleanor Faye Miller, 91, of Bartlesville, Crossed over to her eternal home on Saturday, August 24, 2024, in Bartlesville. Eleanor was born the youngest of seven siblings to George Washington and Gladys Ellen (France) Miller on August 15, 1933, in Norman, OK. She was raised and educated in Norman, graduating from Norman High School in 1951. Eleanor went on to Business College and worked various clerical positions in and around Norman. It was in 1969 when a church friend recommended that Eleanor and Robert Miller, who both had attended the Norman First Church of the Nazarene, should meet. Robert was living in Basehor, KS, at the time and he called her. A relationship soon developed, and they were united in marriage on December 20, 1969, in Norman. They made their home with their blended family in Basehor, KS, until transferring to Bartlesville in 1976. They quickly settled into their new home church, Bartlesville First Church of the Nazarene. Eleanor loved the Lord and was active in the various ministries of the church, her main calling was visiting the shut-ins, making them feel remembered and loved. Eleanor and Robert enjoyed work and witness trips. Together they visited the Dominican Republic, Zimbabwe, Africa, Brazil, and closer to home, the Indian Bible College in New Mexico. They also attended model train conventions; a passion Eleanor shared with Robert. She kept busy on her own, working as an election polling attendant, doing crossword puzzles, entertaining and playing games with friends, reading, and crocheting. She was a prayer warrior and actively participated in prayer chains with church friends. Most of all she was a loving wife, mother and grandmother who prayed for them daily and encouraged them to follow the Lord. She will be dearly missed. Eleanor is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Robert Arthur Miller; children, Ellen (Bob) Eller, Sandra Kay Freeman, Joleta Miller (Tony) Bell and Eldon Paul (Sue) Miller; 13 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents; granddaughter, Amber Faye Withrow; and siblings, Forrest Ray Miller, Ruth Miller, Pauline Epker, Ann Bailey, Shirley Mae Miller and Betty Beury.
