Orpha Kohne Miller Obituary

On January 14, 4 days after her 99th birthday, Orpha joined her family in heaven. Orpha was born January 10, 1922 near Mathias, West Virginia. The 3rd daughter of Joseph C and Hester Wilkins Kohne. She is survived by a daughter, Judy Miller Monger (Larry), grandchildren Wesley Monger, Karen Reeder(Tom), Rebecca Elyard, Wayne Smith and Michelle Hammer and 5 great-grand children along with several nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Cecil W. Miller; daughter Ellen Morris; son Carroll W. Miller; sisters Naomi Kohne, Ruth Gay, Geneva Strawderman and brother Davis Kohne. She married Cecil on January 15, 1943 and they lived in a house that housed the west Rockingham Switch board, which she helped operate until 1947 and they moved to Bridgewater. She had many friends thru her work at Bridgewater College Cafeteria, RMH and her extended church family. In addition to being an avid Bridgewater College Sports fan she had many friends in the Bridgewater area and was a long time member of the Bridgewater Church of the Brethren, but recently attended Otterbein United Methodist. In addition to sports she loved to travel, and had many memorable trips in the past several years. For the past 3 years she was a resident of Harrisonburg Health & Rehab where she received excellent care and we are exceeding appreciative of the staff there.
