Janet “Jan” Louise Miller
Janet “Jan” Louise Miller, 95, of Salina, Kansas (formerly of Bella Vista, AR) passed away on January 28, 2022, with her daughter and son-in-law at her side. The daughter of Fred and Helen (Morganfield) Anderson, Jan was born in Lyons, KS on December 28, 1926. On February 10, 1946, Jan was united in marriage to her high school sweetheart, John Miller, in Lyons.
After making numerous weekend golfing trips to Bella Vista through the years, Jan and John built a new home in 1986, and made numerous friends at Bella Vista Community Church. She volunteered and worked at the church and was a proud member of the Stephen Ministry. Playing golf, playing bridge, and entertaining family and friends remained some of her very favorite things to do.
Jan and John lived in Bella Vista until moving to Salina, Kansas in 2012 to be closer to family. They were residents of Salina Presbyterian Manor for eight years, with the last few years spent in healthcare.
Jan lost her beloved husband of almost 76 years on January 16, 2022. They were one of those couples that one couldn’t imagine life without the other. She is survived by their two children, Susan Grosser (Craig), of Salina, KS; and
Gregg Miller (Pam), of Wichita, KS; grandchildren, Ryan Crist (Kristin), of Abilene, KS; Adam Crist (Brandy), of Lincoln, NE; Erin Bryant (Matt), of Omaha, NE; Jami Grosser (Shelbi Long), of Sonoma, CA; Hayley Grosser, of Wichita, KS; Lyndi Cox (Vincent) of Topeka, KS; Lance Miller (Hollie), of Wichita, KS; great grandchildren Olivia and Ava Crist; Connor Crist; Emily, Megan, and Tanner Bryant; Lauren and Keaton Cox; Emree and Gracyn Miller.
She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and sister.
Cremation was chosen and a reception for family and friends will be held in the spring.
The family would like to give special recognition to the wonderful, compassionate care Jan received from the staff at Salina Presbyterian Manor and Kindred Hospice. These amazing people loved and cared for her and our family, as we said goodbye to both parents in a very short period of time.
