A celebration of life service will follow at 4:00pm in the Funeral Home’s chapel.  Born in Huntington, WV on February 27, 1948, Ed was the son of the late Barbara Barnett Miller and Norman Lee Miller. Ed was a compassionate and thoughtful husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend who loved helping others, being in the sunshine, and travelling. He was known for his quick wit and corny jokes that he always had on hand. He made lifelong friends easily and always strived to preserve and nurture these relationships. Ed was a strong man of faith and held a deep connection with God; he grew up in the church and was currently a member at Mt. Horeb UMC. He was a graduate of Marshall University earning his Bachelors and Masters degrees, and of West Virginia University earning his EdD. He is survived by his wife Debbie of 40 years; son Taylor; daughter Alexandra; granddaughter Kyeleigh; younger brother Gary Miller; sister- and brother-in-law Jennie Rowe and Eddie Hatfield; nieces Lesli Forbes and Casey Cipoletti; and granddog Pickle, all who will miss him deeply. He is preceded in death by his parents and older brother the Rev. Stephen Lee Miller. Ed’s engaging career in Financial Aid Administration spanned almost 45 years working in higher education in NC, WV, MD, and OH before working at the University of South Carolina as Director of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships; retiring on December 31, 2014. He continued to work as a consultant to the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships until December 31, 2017. Ed held a strong passion for helping students and their families and loved the vibrancy of working on college campuses. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a memorial donation to Mt. Horeb UMC in Lexington, SC, or to the charity of one’s choice. Memories and condolences may be shared at barr-price.com.
