Raquel Miller's Obituary
In Loving Memory of Raquel Miller
With deep love and sorrow, we announce that Raquel Miller went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on June 9, 2026, at the age of 58.
Though our hearts are broken by her passing, we rejoice in the assurance that she is now fully healed, free from pain, and in the presence of the One she faithfully loved and served throughout her life.
In April 2025, Raquel was diagnosed with Bulbar Onset ALS, an aggressive form of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Over the following months, she faced unimaginable physical challenges with remarkable courage, grace, and unwavering faith. While the disease gradually took away her ability to speak, swallow, walk, and care for herself, it never took away her love for Jesus or the joy that radiated from her life.
Anyone who knew Raquel knew the light she brought wherever she went. She had a servant’s heart, a kind spirit, and an infectious joy that touched family, friends, caregivers, nurses, and strangers alike. Even during the most difficult days of her illness, those around her often remarked on the peace and warmth she carried. Her life was a testimony to the truth that “the joy of the Lord is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10).
More than anything, Raquel desired that people would know Jesus Christ. Her faith was the foundation of her life, and even when words were no longer possible, her actions, expressions, and quiet strength continued to point others to Him.
She was a beloved mother, sister, family member, and friend whose love knew no bounds. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, compassion, generosity, and steadfast love that will continue to impact those who knew her for years to come.
She is survived by her loving son, Jacob Miller, daughter-in-law, Maggie Miller, her siblings, extended family, and many dear friends whose lives were forever changed by knowing her.
In her final days, she was surrounded by several loved ones who spent precious time by her side, reminding her of how deeply she was loved. She entered eternity peacefully, embraced by the love of her family and the hope of Christ.
While we mourn her absence, we do not mourn without hope. We look forward to the day we are reunited with her in the presence of our Savior.
“Well done, good and faithful servant.” — Matthew 25:23
