Obituary for Janice Miller
Miss Janice Brewington Miller transitioned to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Friday, October 7, 2022. Outgoing, generous and loving, she was known by all who met and knew her. A native of Mathews County, she remained a lifelong resident. The highlights of her life were husband Claiborne Miller, her four children, her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and her love of her Lord and church. She was an avid singer in the church choir and the ultimate gardener with an unparalleled ‘green thumb’.

Additionally, she served as the Chairman of the Board, the Flower Chairman and was a highly valued member of the church choir.
