Waltraud Miller peacefully joined the Lord on Wednesday, July 13, 2016 surrounded by her loving family and friends. She was 75 years old, born Sept 30, 1940 in Winterlingen, Germany to the late Wilhelm and Emma Beck. Waltraud, or “Wally” to her family and friends, is survived by her husband, Roger Miller of Murray; son, Tawn Simons of Brentwood, California; two daughters, Michelle McCart of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina and Monica Daniels of Pasco, Washington; two brothers, Heinz Beck of California and Diter Beck of Germany; along with eight grandchildren: Vanessa, Victoria, Austin, Julia, Madison, Sydney, Gary and Christopher.
Wally loved everyone and welcomed any opportunity to help or encourage her family, friends, and community. She was a talented painter, gardener, crafter, and classic car enthusiast, always happy to share her knowledge and enthusiasm. Throughout her life in Murray, she was actively involved with Woodmen of the World, serving as President and participating in many chapter activities and outreaches. Before retiring, she owned and managed an H&R Block business along with actively running a large farm in West Virginia with her husband Roger.
Her impact on all our lives will forever make us better and her memories will forever inspire us all to live happily and love each other deeper.
Wally will be laid to rest with her family in California and a memorial will be announced and held in Murray at a future date.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Imes Funeral Home and Crematory in downtown Murray.
