Patricia “Pat” Louise Miller

May 19, 1945 - September 7, 2021

Patricia (Pat) L. (Girdwood) Miller, 76, passed away suddenly on September 7, 2021 following a stroke. Born in Pittsburgh, PA on May 19, 1945, she was a resident of Burton Township since 1973.

Pat received her BA in education from Slippery Rock University, PA and taught elementary children for 2 ½ years in Wickliffe, OH. Following the miraculous healing of her first-born child, she trusted in the saving grace of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and became a Christian in March of 1971.

Pat devoted herself to the raising of her four children and faithfully served her family, friends, and church throughout her life. Living her faith, she prayed diligently for those around her, shared the Gospel with those she met, and was a staunch defender of unborn children. After lovingly serving for 10 years as a foster-parent for babies that were put up for adoption, Pat then volunteered for the Good News Jail and Prison Ministry at the Geauga Safety Center, where she led Bible studies and prayed with the women inmates.

In addition to her service, Pat enjoyed planting flowers and weeding their property in Burton, traveling around the country with her husband, and having lunch with her many friends. She also loved to dote on babies, especially her grandchildren.

Pat is survived by her husband of 54 years, John P. Miller, four children: Amy E. (Miller) Morgan her husband Sean and their 5 children: Ari, Aidan, Kyra, Kaela & Mitra; sons Jason P. Miller, Nicholas J. Miller and his wife Alissa A. (Scully) Miller, daughter Amanda L. (Miller) DiMeolo, her husband Ryan and their 2 children: Trevor and Cooper and sister June (Girdwood) Irvin.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Mary (Richenbach) Girdwood and her brothers, William and Charles.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday September 18th, 2021 at Chardon United Methodist Church, 515 North St., Chardon, Ohio at 10:30 am.

Pat always greeted with loving smiles shining Jesus' glory! Pat's prayers and praying with and for her always expressed her living by the faith of the son of God; as so very very many of her family, friends, those ministered to- in years of prison ministries and other fellowships well know. John and family: Peace to you in knowing that there is now therefore no condemnation, for Pat in Christ Jesus presence; Peace, in knowing all of your support of so much eternal love-given through Pat's gracious living with which others have shared, -oh how Godly love will continue to live through all of you.

Amy, I was saddened to read that your mom has passed. Hold tight to the memories of her because they will bring you comfort. Thinking of you.

Pat was one of the most kind and gentle people I have ever known. Her dedication to the Lord was unshakable. Her loving kindness and generous spirit were tangible. She was a rare jewel that one wants to be around. I love her and already miss her. My deepest sympathy to her family.
