Suzanne ‘Susan’ Miller Ronald Dean ‘Ronnie’ Cox Athena January 26, 1959-October 17, 2015 June 10, 1971-October 9, 2015 Suzanne “Susan” Miller of Athena, Oregon, born January 26, 1959, passed away on October 17, 2015, at 5:05 p.m. at St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton at the young age of 56 after her battle with Scleroderma. Susan has been a blessing in the lives of so many people that she has touched along the way. Her spirit and enthusiasm in life have truly been what most people will remember about her. She was a true friend to those who Miller had the privilege of meeting her and staying in her life. She “adopted” many new kids along the way when they needed someone like her in their life, and she was passionate about living her life to the fullest. She inherited the stubborn- ness of a Missouri mule from her beloved father, and never gave up on anything or anyone she believed in without a ¿ght. Most importantly, she loved her children with every ¿ber in her being and her sweet grandchildren even more. Her children and grand- children have given her the greatest purpose in life and it is they who she loved most ¿ercely. Her children love her beyond all measure and stood by her side in her ¿nal days. She has been an incredibly Las Vegas, Nev. important part of all our lives and the empty place that she leaves behind in each of us is vast. For those lucky enough to know her, her impact in their lives will never be forgotten. Susan is survived by her husband, Raymond Miller; her three children, Liza Emory and her husband Lorin Emory, Hanna Rogers and her husband Chris Rogers, and Nicholas Miller; her grandchildren Mia Rae Miller, Lane Douglas Rogers, Violet Martinez and Serenity Martinez; her siblings Elaine Warren-Lechuga, Larry Warren, Beth Harlow and Stacy Johnston; as well as many beloved nieces, nephews and their families. She was preceded in death by her parents, Royal Stevens Warren and Bonnie Mae Warren, and sister Janel Warren. Services will be held at a later date.
