Barbara F. Miller, age 81, peacefully passed away on Friday, July 14, 2017 in Bellingham.
She is survived by her loving husband, James (Jim) Miller; her children, Linda Swartos of Lynden, Richard (Rick) Weatherby of Everett, Sharon Weatherby of Blaine, Keith Miller of Dripping Springs, Texas, and Kimbra Miller of Bellingham; six grandchildren; cousins Sandra Pedersen of Denver, Tana Honeycutt of Bellingham and Ray Olson of Ferndale; and her grand-dog, Ka’e.
Barbara was born and raised on the Miller family farm at Custer by her grandmother, uncles and aunts. She was a member of Zion Lutheran Church, where she taught Sunday and Bible school. She was involved in the Cub Scouts, 4-H and Bluebirds organizations with her children. Barbara and her husband, Jim, traveled extensively throughout the U.S., spending much of their time with family in Texas and “snow-birding” in Arizona.
Barbara will be remembered as a loving mother, not only to her children, but to many others who were blessed by her care, all of whom will miss her open arms, charming sense of humor and affectionate “love you.”
Her final resting place will be Enterprise Cemetery of Ferndale. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 30, in Zion Lutheran Church, 7215 Valley View Rd., Ferndale.
Arrangements are by Moles Farewell Tributes Ferndale.
