George Edward Miller, Jr., 89, of Broadway, VA died March 26, 2023 at the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville.

He was born April 18, 1933 in Fulks Run to the late George Edward, Sr. and Leafy M. Runion Miller.

George was a garage supervisor for Rockingham County Public Schools before retiring.  He was a member of The Brethren at Mountain Grove Church and attended Woods Chapel Independent Bible Church.

On December 29, 1954 he married the former Nona A. Hupp, who preceded him in death March 25, 2009.

Surviving are two daughters, Bonita Shaffer of Oakland, MD, Nancy Lantz and husband Erich of Rockingham; one son, George Miller III and wife Tamara of Timberville; one brother, Matthew "Bud" Miller of Timberville; a number of nieces and nephews.

One brother, Willard "Red" Miller and a son-in-law, Jim Shaffer, preceded him in death.

George was a gifted technician and a creative problem-solver who always sought new projects, which he undertook with a cool head and understated enthusiasm.

He was also a loving father who extended that unconditional love to the spouses of his children, readily making them feel part of the family. He made many friends both through his long career and in his retirement, and his influence will be felt through many generations.

Pastors Tim Miller, Eric Wetzel, and Jerry Shiflet will conduct a memorial service April 15, 2023 at 5:30 pm.   Burial at Mountain Grove Cemetery was private.
