Donna L. Miller (née Winter), beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on February 8, 2026, at the age of 92.

Donna was born on March 29, 1933, in Council Bluffs, Iowa. She graduated from Sublette High School in Sublette, Kansas, in May 1951 and, within days, married the love of her life, Thomas Miller. Their marriage was the beginning of a lifelong partnership marked by devotion, adventure, and deep family roots.

During Tom’s service in the United States Navy, Donna embraced the life of a military wife, living in several places including Waukegan, Illinois, and South Padre Island, Texas. Eventually, they returned home to Kansas, first settling in Sublette before moving to Scott City in 1967, where they built a life filled with family, friends, and community involvement.

Donna rarely left the house without looking her absolute best. Always impeccably dressed, with her makeup perfectly done and a fashionable outfit to match, she carried herself with grace and confidence. Her love of fashion became a successful business venture when she and her mother-in-law, Doris Miller, opened The Fashion Shoppe, a women’s clothing and accessories boutique. For more than 11 years, the store was a beloved staple on Main Street and a reflection of Donna’s style, warmth, and community spirit.

Creativity was woven into the fabric of Donna’s life. She had a deep love for crafting and was known for her beautiful handmade creations. As a member of the Alpha Omega Sorority, she was instrumental in helping establish the Whimmydiddle, the cherished annual craft fair held each fall in Scott City. Donna continued crafting and selling her creations as recently as this past Christmas — an activity that brought her immense joy and kept her connected to the community she loved.

Donna also had a playful spirit and a fondness for "low-risk games of chance". She delighted in trying her luck at the penny slots and she especially treasured evenings spent playing Bingo with “the girls.” Whether she walked away a winner or not, it was the laughter, friendship, and simple thrill of the game that truly made her light up.

Above all, Donna’s greatest pride and happiness came from her family. She was a devoted and loving wife to Tom, a wonderful mother and grandmother, and a generous, loyal sister and friend. She rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on her kids, grandchildren and great-grandchildren at sporting events, school programs, and countless activities. From ballgames to recitals to academic accomplishments, she followed their lives with enthusiasm and pride, celebrating each milestone. Her positive outlook and warm spirit remained with her until the very end.

Donna is survived by her three children: Nora Kite (Dale) of Amarillo, TX, Gary Miller (Julie) of Scott City, KS, and Lisa Cleaver (Bill) of Glen Ellyn, IL; seven grandchildren; and twelve great-grandchildren, all of whom were a constant source of pride and joy. She is also survived by her sister, Mary Ann Duncan, and her brother, Ronnie Winter.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Tom; her parents, Martin and Vera Winter; one great-grandchild, Keaton Miller; three brothers; and one sister.
