Frances P. Miller, 91, of Marion, formerly of Cedar Rapids, died Monday, Oct. 19, 2015, at Summit Pointe Senior Living in Marion. Funeral Mass will be 9:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 23, at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, with Father Chris Podhajsky presiding. Burial will follow in St. John's Cemetery.

Frances was born March 20, 1924, in Cedar Rapids, the daughter of Lloyd B. and Sarah (Stribling) Reynolds. She graduated as valedictorian from Lisbon High School in 1942. Frances was united in marriage to Stanley Miller on May 18, 1948, at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church. She worked as a lab technician at Quaker Oats for many years until her retirement in 1981.

Frances enjoyed playing bingo, crocheting and word puzzles. In her early years, she enjoyed going to dances with Stanley. Most of all, she cherished the time spent with family, and never met a dog she did not like.

Frances is survived by her daughters, Carol Johnson of Johns Creek, Ga., Connie (Patrick) Barrett of Largo, Fla., and Gloria (David) Cowguill of Marion; four grandchildren, Matt Johnson, Julie (Doug) Pace, Ryan (Kim) Barrett and Andrew Cowguill; and four great-grandchildren, Kinsey and Preston Johnson and William and Megan Pace.

Frances was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Stanley; and her siblings.

Memorials may be directed to either the Cedar Valley Humane Society or St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in her name.

The family would like to extend a special thank-you to the staff at Summit Pointe and to Hospice Compassus for their loving care and support of Frances.
