Born on Dec. 31, 1942, the only child of Evelyn and Wilson Romesburg of Uniontown, Pa., she was a 1960 graduate of Uniontown High School and graduated from Grove City College in 1964 with degrees in English and French.

In 1965 she married her high school sweetheart, Michael L. Miller. From this union they were blessed with three sons, Dr. Erik M. Miller, Lamar, Brett J. Miller of Lamar and Dr. Kirk A. Miller of Kansas City, Mo. They blessed her with six grandchildren, Brianna and Gabrielle, daughters of Dr. Erik and Brenda (McDaniel) Miller; Carmen and Wilson, daughter and son of Brett Miller and Marsha (Swavely) Miller and Simon and Eva, son and daughter of Dr. Kirk and Stephanie (Brown) Miller.

Her husband’s career as a chemical engineer moved the family around the country, but she always found a church home, a teaching job and a home that was comfortable for the family and welcoming to all the neighborhood kids who frequently stopped by. She taught English, French, Spanish and gifted classes over the course of her career, and even spent a few years substitute teaching.

Her favorite activities were spending time with the Lord, traveling and doting on her grandchildren. She attended as many of their activities as she could, whether it be locally, in Kansas City or traveling to a meet. Having all her family together brought her great joy.

After 46 years of marriage, her husband Mike died in January 2012.

She married Earl Shofler of Webb City in September 2016. With him he brought a son, Shane Shofler and daughter, Heather Stilley, into the family, as well as Heather’s daughters, Chase and Wren Stilley. “Granny”, as many people called her by now, just couldn't stop smiling at all the blessings in her life.

She was an active member of the Oakton United Methodist Church, including teaching Sunday school for many years, singing on the Praise Team and participating in the women’s group. She had a soft heart for those in need, and never hesitated to give of her time and talents.
