Donica Routh (Parker) Miller, 71, of Covington, IN passed away on Sunday December 31, 2023, at OSF in Danville, IL. She was born in Crawfordsville, IN on September 29, 1952, to Donald Leslie and Phyllis Routh (Massing) Parker.

Donica graduated from Crawfordsville High School in 1970. She graduated from DACC and received her LPN from Lakeview Nursing School. She married Monty "Ray" Miller on December 15, 1978. She worked 32 years at the Department of Veterans Affairs as an LPN and Occupational Therapist. She loved reading, gardening, sewing, quilting, riverboat casinos, and spending time with her husband travelling and fishing. She also entered her quilts into several fairs and the Vermilion County Museum and she placed for several prizes.

She is survived by her husband of 45 years, Ray; two step-children, Jonathan Miller of Danville, IL and Rebecca (Andy) Miles of Springfield, TN; two sisters, Theda Parker of Tacoma, WA and Teresa (Christian) Saenger of Lafayette, IN; several step-grandchildren; in-laws Arlyn (Alice) Miller, Dave Miller, Leroy Miller, Rick (Grace) Miller, Marsha (Curt) Gordon, Christy (Bill) Hoskins; and a multitude of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

Janice (Stewart) Massing; paternal grandparents, Albert Lawson and Mary Sylvia (Everett) Parker; parents; brother Donald Albert Parker; and in-laws Sheryl (Richard) Kinney, Deanna (Russell Sr.) Johnson, Cathy (Leroy) Miller, and Ella Miller.

Donica loved her family dearly. She was always sharing the fruits of her gifts and talents. She would make Christmas decorations, quilts, pot holders, pots of vegetable soup and desserts. If you had a need, Donica would go out of her way even, when she was sick herself, to make sure you were taken care of. She would even donate her paid time off to co-workers when they were in need.
