Terry was born on Sept. 23, 1957 at Jamesport, the son of Orvil W. and Beulah B. Sheppard Miller.

He was married on July 9, 1976 to Pauline O. Otto at the Baptist Church in Newtown. They made their home in Jamesport. In January 1977 he began working for Modine Manufacturing and spent the rest of his working life there.

Terry was a very loving, caring and giving person who enjoyed hunting, fishing and woodworking. He has left most of his family members with one of his wooden projects to treasure. Family was his main joy in life and he didn?t miss a chance to be with him.

In addition to his wife, Pauline, he is survived by one son, Matt Miller of the home, who is attending college in Lamoni, IA; a daughter, Amanda Miller of Tempe, AZ; his mother-in-law, Ruth Otto Boehner of Newtown; five half-sisters, Betty, Sharon, Linda, Marilyn and JoAnn; three half-brothers, Leroy, Leland and Dwight; 15 brothers- and sisters-in-law; numerous nieces and nephews on both sides of the family; and an uncountable number of friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a special father-in-law, Willard Otto.

The family has suggested memorial contributions be left to the Harris Cemetery.
