Ruth “Smail” Miller
The years have flown away at a quick pace. My mother, Ruth “Smail” Miller turned ninety years old on December 6th. She was born on December 6, 1929 to my grandparents,: James Edward Yount and Mary Elizabeth Leightley. She was the third of a family of five children.
My mother was born on a farm. grandad always had cattle. Chickens weren’t uncommon either as chicken dinners were common as I grew up. Roast beef was, also, common.
My mother married, Allen Kenneth Smail on November 14th, 1953. I came along in 1955 and my sister, Ruthie in 1958. Another sister died in 1962. Her name was Glenna Mae.
Mom was always completely devoted to her family. She still is!
Bob Miller
My father died on June 2oth, 1999. That day was Father’s Day. Mom remarried in 2009 to Robert Lee Miller. He has been very good to the family and we certainly appreciate his presence. Currently, Bob is fighting a very aggressive cancer. We spent three days at the hospital this past week in regard to his condition and a surgery adding more quality of life.
On my mother’s birthday we celebrated in a simple manner with cake and ice cream and pizza at her home.
I know reality , but I am hoping for another ten years or more of birthdays for mom.
