She graduated from Drury College in Springfield, MO in 1960 with a bachelor of arts degree. Upon receiving her teaching certificate, she taught kindergarten full time in the Carman School district in Flint, MI. In 1962, she married Gust Miller, owner of Creamline Dairy. During the 70’s and 80’s, as the dairy became a focus for the family, she stepped away from teaching full time to work in the family business. In 1988 her husband passed away but she continued working in the business for a few years until its closing. In 1990 she returned to teaching but as a substitute teacher. In 2000 she moved to Missouri to help care for her ailing mother and brother. In 2005, she went to Michigan to live with her daughter and a few years later they moved to Florida to get away from the snow and cold. Dorothy devoted her life to being a wife and loving mother to her children. She loved and cherished her family. She was a dedicated teacher where children thrived around her gentle and caring ways. She loved to travel and every year the family would pile in the car and head south from Michigan to enjoy the Florida sun and beaches, but little did she know then that she would be moving there. Dorothy also loved to read and plant flower and vegetable gardens. She was very active in the church and a strong woman of faith. She enjoyed playing the piano to the tune of her favorite gospel songs: “Amazing Grace”, “On A Hill Far Away” and “What a day that will be”. She prayed fervently for her family and others and will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to have known her. Dorothy was a kind, gentle soul who always smiled and had a positive demeanor. Those around her loved her very much; she will be dearly missed and forever remembered.
