Obituary For Lois June Miller

Lois Miller passed away peacefully at Washington Hospital in Fremont on February 16 at age 95.

The devoted mother of six children, she was a member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church of Fremont for over 50 years. She was a teacher in the Newark Unified School District, a professional dietitian and former Captain in the U.S. Army.

Lois was born and raised on a farm in North Dakota and graduated from North Dakota State University in 1943. After serving in the US Army in WW II and in Korea as a hospital dietitian, she met her husband, Richard, in Tacoma WA. Together they raised 6 children while making many family moves across the US as required by Richard’s career with the US Geological Survey.

Lois is survived by her son, David, and daughter Donna, both of Newark, son Alan and his wife Diane of Cupertino, and daughter Joyce Taigen and her husband Tim, of Penn Valley, CA, their daughter Lauren of Fort Collins, CO, as well as several nieces and nephews in Iowa, Colorado, Texas and Washington.

She is preceded in death by her husband Richard, son Mark, daughter Judith Tallman, parents Henry and Jeanette Skadeland, brother Don and sister Dorris Eitel.

Lois will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.

Memorial donations can be made in Lois’s name to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.

    I have known Lois (or Adopted Mum as I liked to call her) since I worked with Alan and Donna in the mid-to-late 1980’s. Donna, Alan and I always stayed in contact over the years as we all went our different ways. In 2001, my own parents purchased a home in Vancouver, WA and moved away. I missed visiting them every weekend and soon it became a Sunday ritual for me to join the Miller family for an entertaining afternoon and dinner. We shared many good times. Sometimes we would watch television and Wheel of Fortune would come on. – I have to interject here that the Miller family are very competitive and it felt like a race to see who could figure the words out first- Anyway, on Wheel of Fortune if you signed up on line you could win money if they choose your special code. Donna had signed Lois up and every time we watched the show we looked to see if the code with LJM initials would come up. This was the first I had heard of Wheel of Fortune doing this. Eventually I moved away to Washington State to my own parents, and of course missed my Miller family. Lois liked to call me her adopted daughter, but I felt closer than that. I have been blessed to have Lois in my life, I feel that an angel has been taken from us, or maybe an angel has been born. Lois will live on forever in our hearts. After all, here we are in 2018 and I still look for LJM in the winning code on Wheel of Fortune, and think of Lois…I believe I always will.
