Ann Miller

FARMINGTON - Ann "Sissy" Miller of Farmington entered into her eternal home on December 15, 2023 at her home at the age of 80. She was born in Ironton, Missouri on December 22, 1942 to the late Ralph Edwin Goggin and Wilma (Keathley) Goggin. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, George "Bud" Miller; a brother, James Goggin and a sister, Barbara Jane England. Ann was a 1960 graduate of Ironton High School in Arcadia Valley. In 1962 she was married to Bud Miller in Ironton and they began their life together in St. Louis. Bud's job with the railroad soon took them to Kansas where they lived several years before returning to St. Louis. By the time they moved back they had a family of three young sons. Ann worked as a secretary for Pet Foods in St. Louis before taking a position as executive assistant to the COO of Charter Communications. Twenty years ago, she retired and moved closer to her Ironton origins. In Farmington, she worked at the Farmington Civic Center in the child care center where she made many friends and has influenced many young lives. The highlight of her years was her role as Mrs. Claus as part of the Farmington Christmas celebrations. She also enjoyed traveling, painting and taking care of her beloved Bichon, Daisy. She was happiest when spending time with her cherished grandchildren. Survivors include her sons, George "Brett" (Julie) Miller of Ballwin, James (Mary) Miller of St. Louis and Ralph (Patty) Miller of Sullivan; seven grandchildren, Zeke, Ian, Anna, Kyle, Cole, Chad and Cayli; extended family and good friends.
