      Mary B. Miller

      Mary Lou Bentley Miller, 77, of Clover Church Road, Granite Falls, passed away Friday, Aug. 25, 2006, at the Miller family home after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's disease.

      She was born Aug. 29, 1928, in Caldwell County, the daughter of the late Noah Carolina Bentley and Ellen Lydia Rupard Bentley.

      Mrs. Miller was a retired employee of Shuford Mills in Granite Falls and a member of Sunrise Baptist Church in Hudson. She married James Woodrow Miller Sr. on Dec. 25, 1946, in Caldwell County. Her husband of 35 years preceded her in death on Jan. 21, 1981.

      Mrs. Miller is survived by her son, James W. Miller Jr., and a special friend and caregiver, Michael Lein, both of the home; two daughters, Cathy Ann Miller-Gallashaw and husband, Greg, and Marsha Ellen Miller Rezapour, both of Monroe, Ga.; a grandson, James W. (Clovis) Miller III of Hickory; and two granddaughters, Jasmine Eileen Rezapour and Parisa Lynn Rezapour, both of Charlotte. Both Mrs. Miller and her husband always made loving sacrifices for their children, for which their children will always be thankful.

      In addition to her parents and her husband, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Dewey Allison Bentley of Hudson and James Thomas Bentley of Granite Falls; and two sisters, Lillie Mae Bentley and Rose Belle Clark, both of Sawmills.

      Services were conducted Sunday, Aug. 27, 2006, at 3 p.m. at Mackie-High Funeral Home Chapel, with the the Rev. Edd Warren officiating. Burial followed at Sunset Hills Cemetery. [1]
