WILLMA JEAN MILLER

Mrs. Willma Jean Miller, 70, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Hazlehurst Court Care and Rehabilitation Center following an extended illness.
Willma was born in Mount Vernon, and later moved to Appling County, where she spent most of her life. She was a faithful member of Satilla Baptist Church and worked for many years as a seamstress at Bailey Boys Manufacturing.
Willma was a loving mother, sister, and friend whose kindness touched the lives of everyone around her. She had a special way of reminding those around her that even in life’s most difficult moments, there is always room for kindness. Her family meant everything to her, and prayer was an important part of her everyday life. She faithfully prayed for everyone she knew by name, as well as strangers whose paths she had never crossed. Her caring heart and unwavering faith will forever be remembered by those who knew and loved her.
Mrs. Miller was preceded in death by her parents, Donald Dean and Myrtle Elizabeth Bishop.
Those left to cherish her memory include her daughter, Gretchen Bailey (Evens); her son, Nick Miller (Shannon); her sister, Barbara Bishop; five grandchildren, Austin, Zane, Brianna, Paige, and Britney; and three great-grandchildren.

Interment followed at Midway Church Cemetery.
