Mrs. Miller was born December 16, 1933 near Sumner, Illinois, the daughter of Jacob Hubert and Minnie Mae Ledeker Brian. Roberta graduated from Monticello High School in 1951 and attended Illinois State University where she met Wayne “Mike” Miller. They were married Oct. 17, 1954 in Wapella, Illinois. The following Wednesday Roberta went to work at Revere Copper and Brass, Inc. in Clinton, Illinois where the couple made their home. After the death

of her husband in 2007, Roberta moved to Tatman Village in Monticello so she could be closer to her nieces Renée M. Fruendt and Carol Hawkins.

 

She worked at Revere until Revere Copper and Brass, Inc. closed their manufacturing facility in Clinton, Illinois in 1999. She was a member of Young at Heart, puppets of the church, Key Lady and Co-Key Lady of Lincoln Christian Nursing Home and Lane Christian Church in Lane, Illinois. She enjoyed playing pinochle, putting puzzles together and coloring pictures and spending time with her granddaughters and great-grandchildren.

 

Surviving are two children, Eric Miller and Erin Miller of Bloomington; two grandchildren, Jennifer Miller and Angela (Wes) McGrew of Bloomington; four great-grandchildren, Evan, Bradlee, Kyler, and Adalyn; and a sister Lois Sarver of Silver Springs, Florida.

 

Besides her husband, Roberta was preceded in death by her parents, a son, four sisters, and three brothers.
