Obituary for Renada Cantrell Miller

(04/10/62-10/13/25)

It was a blessing the day Renada Cantrell Miller was born, and her life became a shining reflection of faith, love, and service. Renada lived each day with a joyful heart and a deep devotion to God and her family. Her kindness, laughter, and gentle spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Faith was the cornerstone of Renada's life. She sang proudly in her church choir; she organized bible school and women's events that strengthened friendships and faith. Renada's heart for helping others was one of her greatest gifts- especially her work creating backpacks for children in need alongside her beloved mother & church family. Together, they poured love and care into every project, ensuring each child felt seen, valued, and supported.

For over 28 years, Renada poured that same love into her work as a schoolteacher. She taught hundreds of children over the years, each one touched by her patience, encouragement and kindness. Her classroom was a place where learning was joyful, and every child felt special. Many of her students carried her lessons- both academic and heartfelt- with them long after they left her care. Family was Renada's greatest treasure. She cherished every gathering- from Sunday dinners to Holiday celebrations- where laughter filled the air and love surrounded everyone at the table. Her home was a place of warmth and welcome, where faith and family came first and every visitor left feeling like part of the family. Renada's legacy of love, compassion, and faith continues to live on in the hearts of her family, her church community, and all those whose lives she touched. She will be remembered not with sorrow, but with deep gratitude for a life so beautifully lived and so deeply loved.

A private family celebration of Renada's life will be held to honor her memory and the many ways she blessed others through her love, faith and generosity.

She is survived by her husband Mitch Miller and daughter April Ramsey, husband Derek and grandson Jax. She is also survived by her mother Joyce Cantrell, her sister Evalyn Sudderth, husband George, a number of nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews of whom she cherished. Her mother-in-law Asilee Miller, brother-in law Ken Miller & wife Ann.

She was preceded in death by her brother William Darren Cantrell and father James Cantrell as well as her father-in-law Harold Miller.
