“MILLER Rene Hommes. A memorial service, directed by Hahn-Cook/Street & Draper, will be held on Friday morning at 11am, in the Chapel of the First Presbyterian Church for Mrs. Miller, a long-time City resident, who died Sunday [Note: Oct. 6] after a lengthy illness. Mrs. Miller was born in St. Cloud MN, on March 21st, 1904, the daughter of German immigrants, Bertha and John Hommes. When she was 6 years old, her family moved to OKC, where she lived until her death. Mrs. Miller graduated from Okla. High School (later called Central High School), and from the University of Okla. While at the university, she was initiated into the Epsilon Alpha Chapter of Chi Omega Social Sorority, and was chosen Journalism Queen. She and the late Dr. Nesbitt L. Miller were married in 1925.
Together, they were active in county and state medical associations, and were members of the Okla. City Golf and County Club, the Joie de Vie (a couples dinner dance group), and the First Presbyterian Church.
After Dr. Miller's death in 1954, Mrs. Miller continued her affiliation with that church and served it in many capacities. She was a member of the board that made plans for the construction and furnishing for Shepherd Manor, the church's retirement home, and chaired the Child Care Committee. Throughout her lifetime, Mrs. Miller was active in community and volunteer endeavors. For 6 years, she served as the leader for a group of Bluebirds and Campfire Girls. In addition she frequently did block and area canvassing for United Fund-United Way campaigns. Mrs. Miller is survived by her two daughters, Michelle Caldwell of Edmond OK, and Sherri Butterfield of Mission Viejo CA; and by five grandchildren, Cathi, Christi, and Jimmy Caldwell, and Kirsten and Tara Butterfield. The family asks that friends wishing to make memorial contributions, send them to the American Cancer Society, Shepherd Manor, or the Rene Miller Memorial Fund of First Presbyterian Church."
