Clare Miller Obituary

Clare Foster "Mimi" Miller MATTHEWS, NC - Clare Foster "Mimi" Miller, 73, passed peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Savior on July 30, 2016 in her home after a long battle with COPD/Emphysema. Born November 28, 1942 in Queens, NY she was the daughter of the late Stephanie and William H. Foster. She is survived by her loving husband of 48 years, Caswell A. "Buddy" Miller, her children: Scott (Merrill) Miller of Orlando, FL, Ginny (Rick) Cobb of Weddington, NC, Amy (Steve) Smith of Aiken, SC; her brother, Robert (Mary) Foster, of Gainesville, GA; her 10 grandchildren, Wyatt Miller, Michael Cobb, Sydney Cobb, Katelyn Cobb, Tyler Cobb, Zachary Cobb, Olivia Cobb, Sibylle Smith, Jon Mark Smith, Bethany (Smith) Rodriguez; her nieces & nephews: Katie Foster (Michael) Allen, Avery Allen, and Ross Foster. Clare was a selfless person who always thought of others first. Everything she did from being a volunteer at church, youth group leader, office manager for several family businesses, cub scout mom, driver to many practices, sandwich maker for all the neighborhood kids, savior to stray animals ... She did with a pure desire to put others above herself. The family businesses would not have succeeded without her organizational skills and countless hours of hard work. Many children know Christ because of her work as a youth group leader. Her door was always open to people in need whether it was a homeless person, friend, stray animal or simply by having a full fridge for the neighborhood kids. Famous for her annual Thanksgiving Feast, (which she made every year for 50+ years without fail), her sausage balls, her brother's favorite corn chowder, her Charleston red rice and many other wonderful meals. Her selflessness was demonstrated in these and many other ways, too many to list here. We would also like to acknowledge the "angels" from Hospice; and will always be thankful for the compassion and care you gave during Clare's final days.
