Ruth Helen Miller, 89, of Clearfield went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ when she died peacefully at her home on Monday, Aug. 5, 2013.
She has a grand homecoming with her loved ones and friends as Paul would say “Christ in you the hope of glory.” The outlook is gloomy, but the up-look is ever glorious.
She had traveled full-time with her sisters as the “Johnson Sisters.” They traveled to play bells and glasses and to sing the Gospel songs throughout the United States, Canada and the Islands. They won the hearts of Christians whenever they sang and played. Her radiance and smiling face glowed for her Savior.
She was born June 9, 1924 in Clearfield, the daughter of Helmer and Olga (Ogren) Johnson. She was a member of the Christian & Missionary Alliance Church of Clearfield.
She is survived by two sisters, Dorothy Johnson of Clearfield and Emma Hunsberger and her husband, the Rev. Claude Hunsberger of DuBois and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, David R. Miller Sr., whom she married May 11, 1972 and who died April 22, 1992; two sisters, Elsie Johnson and Mildred M. Eckley; and four brothers, Harry, Victor, Raymond and Gilbert Johnson.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Christian & Missionary Alliance Church, 56 Alliance Rd., Clearfield with Dr. Duane A. White officiating. Burial will be in the Hillcrest Cemetery.
Friends will be received from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. Friday at Bennett and Houser Funeral Home Inc., 312 E. Locust St., Clearfield and from 10 a.m. until the hour of services Saturday at the church.
The family suggest contributions be made to the Christian & Missionary Alliance Church, 56 Alliance Rd., Clearfield, PA 16830.
