Janet Whitson Miller

Janet Whitson Miller, 62, entered the gates of her heavenly home on Tuesday April 24, 2018, after a two-year courageous battle with cancer. Born Janet Elaine Whitson on May 13, 1955, she was the daughter of Edward C. Whitson and Doris Yelton Whitson. She was preceded in death by her father; and is survived by: her mother; husband of 31 years, William A. Miller, of the home; brother, Ed Whitson; sister, Teresa King and husband Steve King; nephews and nieces, Chuck Whitson, Heather Whitson Buck and husband Trey Buck, Laurel Buck, Jonathan King and wife Sarah King, Lauren King; and several aunts and uncles. Janet was a graduate of Daniel Boone High School, where she was a member of the National Championship Boonette Precision Drill Team. After spending 2 years at ETSU, Janet began her working career at Home Federal Savings and Loan, where she worked for 15 years and became the first female loan officer in the organization. After leaving Home Federal, she began her life-long dream of remodeling, decorating and flipping homes, where she developed the attitude that you will never have to work a day in your life if you love what you are doing. Janet was a member of Heritage Baptist Church, and was also a member of the United Emmaus Community, where she served on several teams, as well as, the Kiros Prison Ministry. With her spiritual gift of mercy, she had a love and compassion for family friends and strangers alike. She had served on the Board of Girls, Inc, and had chaired 5 of the organization?s annual garden parties. She was an avid reader and enjoyed her daily Bible readings and studies and was an inspiration to all who knew her.
