Rev. Joe Mack Miller

Sept. 10, 1927-April 17, 2022

 

Rev. Joe Mack Miller (Daddy, Papaw, Uncle Joe), originally of Spencer County, Indiana, went home to Jesus peacefully Easter morning, with family by his side. Family remaining in celebration of his life on this earth include his wife of 73 years, Janice Miller; son Joe L. Miller; daughter Carla (John) Schetzsle; granddaughters, Kali Schetzsle (David Rigdon), and Kristi Schetzsle (Bill Stull); great-granddaughters, Aailyah Keys and Brielle Stull; sister-in-law Dianna Enlow; nieces, Sandra (John) Roberts, Mary Jo (Charlie) Patterson and Francy Miller; nephews, Wally Murphy and Matthew (Gayle) Enlow.

Joe lived a full life and passed at the age of 94. He was a farmer who received the calling and continued his education through ministry, serving congregations as a United Methodist minister for over 60 years in Indiana, including Rockport, Crawfordsville, Indianapolis, Seymour, Evansville, as well as Jacksonburg in Ohio. He and his wife opened their home to over 50 foster children over the years. Enjoying his retirement in Evansville, and then moved to Crawfordsville for the last few years, Joe was able to spend more time with family; playing cards (especially UNO), tinkering and fixing things for those he knew and loved, and spending time with his granddaughters and great-granddaughters, his pride and joy. He asked that you love and cherish your family as he did his.

The immediate family will have a small life celebration, no service to be held.

In lieu of flowers, it was Joe’s wish to have contributions made to the United Methodist Youth Home, a nonprofit that he helped to build and establish for at-risk youth, at 2521 N. Burkhardt Road, Evansville, IN 47715; 812-479-7535; or umyh.org/donate-now.
