Kay wed Terry Mitchell Miller on September 16th, 1978 at Clinton Christian Church. They recently celebrated 42 years of marriage this past year. Together they raised three children: Ryan, Lindsey, and Kaitlyn. Kay's passions were her faith and spending time with her family. Her favorite things were camping, family trips to Branson, and her grandkids.

Kay worked various jobs throughout her life.  Some of her jobs included being a preschool teacher, case manager for the Division of Family Services, and owning and operating the Sears store in Clinton with her husband. Kay retired after working as a housing counselor for West Central Community Action Agency.  She also served many years on the school board at Clinton Christian Academy. She inspired and was a friend to many.

Kay was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Nana. She had a vivacious personality and always made people around her laugh.

Kay was a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ. She was baptized as a child in the creek on her grandparents farm. She was an active member of Park Grove Christian Church and gave her time selflessly. She spent many Sundays playing the piano, teaching Sunday school, and serving where she was needed.
