Debra Ann Miller

Debra Ann (Lamb) Miller passed away peacefully in her sleep on November 8, 2025.

She was born on February 13, 1955, in Danville, Illinois, to Archie and Angie Lamb. Debra, or Deb as she was affectionately known, is survived by two brothers, Ray (Donna) Lamb of Kissimmee, Florida, and David (Alice) Lamb of Rolla, Missouri. She was preceded in death by her older brother, Richard (Shirley) Lamb of Catlin, Illinois. Deb is also survived by her brother-in-law, Steve Miller of Danville, and sister-in-law, Linda (Daniel) Rosnett of Indianola, Illinois.

Deb met the love of her life, Harl Miller, while in high school, and they were married on December 1, 1973. Married for over 51 years, they shared a life filled with love, laughter, and devotion. Deb cherished her role as a mother and farmer’s wife, and for many years, she also worked at the Veterans Administration in Danville, proudly serving those who served our country.

Together, Harl and Deb traveled across the country, with Deb visiting all 50 states. Their trips to Alaska were among her absolute favorites. A lifelong Chicago Cubs fan, she inherited her love for the team from her father and was overjoyed to witness their long-awaited World Series championship in 2016.

Deb was the proud mother of five children: April, Travis (Nicci), Caleb (Deserai), and Rachel (Eric Bryant). One child was lost in miscarriage. Her grandchildren—Tanaya, Jace, Khai, Tyler, Ryland, Eric, Armon, J'Lene, Ava, Avery, Owen, Londyn, Eli, Laeanna, Beckett, Sofia, IreLynn—were her greatest joy. She loved attending their sporting events, doing crafts with them, and celebrating holidays together. Christmas was her favorite time of year; she lived the spirit of Jesus through her generosity and love, handcrafting personalized Christmas stockings for every child and grandchild.

A talented artist with a passion for the fabric arts—knitting, spinning, and quilting—Debra shared her gifts freely. Many family members will continue to find comfort in the quilts and blankets she lovingly created. She also led the textile department at the Georgetown Fair for many years, sharing her skills with her community.

Debra had a deep and abiding faith in Jesus and was active in church life, where she formed many lifelong friendships. Since the passing of her parents and brother, she often spoke of longing for a joyful reunion. Her family takes comfort in knowing that, through God’s grace, she is now with them.

We will miss her dearly and look forward with hope to the day we are reunited once more.

With love, her family.
