Florence (Schumm) Miller (1929-2016)

This is not the post originally planned for today. I will post that one next week.

Instead, today’s post is a photo tribute to my mother, Florence Elizabeth (Schumm) Miller, who passed away from a sudden illness yesterday.

Karen

Greetings from the Chattanooga, Ohio, area. Yes, Ohio has its very own Chattanooga, aka Chatt, a small village in west-central Ohio, near the Indiana border. I have been doing family history research for over 20 years and am a Board-Certified genealogist, certified by the Board for Certification of Genealogists®. My main genealogical interests are family research, cemetery research, and historical and genealogical research of the Chatt area, with a focus on two area Lutheran Churches, both named Zion Lutheran, one in Chatt and the other in Schumm, Ohio. Family names I am researching include Miller, Schumm, Brewster, Rueck, Reid, Headington, Huey, Bryan, Whiteman, Schinnerer, Scaer, Breuninger, Bennett, and a few others. I belong to several lineage societies, including the Daughters of the American Revolution, U.S. Daughters of 1812, First Families of Ohio, and First Families of Mercer and Van Wert Counties. I am also a retired dental hygienist and our church organist. I hope you enjoy Karen's Chatt.

    So sorry to learn of this……I always admired her flower and landscaping skills, and shared her love of flower gardening.

    Sorry to hear of your loss. Always admired how neat and pretty the property always was with all the flowers and landscaping.

    Truly missed sitting in front of her and your dad in church. It was a privilege to know them.

    Karen, you have our sympathy over the passing of your mother. It’s always hard. I remember her from Willshire Hiigh School where we were in the same building 1 – 12 and we younger girls always noticed the older girls . She was so pretty and nice to us

    My sympathy to you and your family, Karen. She was a lovely lady; so kind and gentle. She created a lovely home and yard with her landscaping talents also. I remember their wedding. God bless you as you make this sad journey.
