Marceille was born in Cushing, OK. On November 19, 1930. Marceille married the love of her life Basil Miller, and they raised their children together. They instilled the love of Jesus and the value of prayer into their families lives and hearts. Many were saved by her prayers, letters and encouraging scriptures, which she so lovingly sent on a handwritten note. Marceille loved spending time with her family, going to church, playing board games and card games, and sharing scriptures to all those around her. One thing you could always count on from her, was a letter in the mail giving encouragement with a handwritten Maranatha [Come O' Lord] on the envelope. We will forever miss her caring heart, silly sayings and jokes, sly smirk and her love. She was a woman who made everyone feel loved and would genuinely pray for the needs of others. Marceille is preceded in death by her husband Basil Miller, sons Mitchell Miller, and Basil John Miller, son in-law Charles Surface, grandson Randy Surface, parents Charles Raymond Bunch, Jessie May Bunch, and beloved Stepmother Verna Bunch, and siblings; Eileen, Marvena, Raymond, and Shirley. She is survived by her daughters Marcia Surface and Marta Bicknell, grandchildren Chris Surface and wife Lindsay Surface, Daniel Bicknell and wife Ashley Bicknell, Michelle Pfister and husband Deke Pfister, great-grandchildren Noah Surface, Kate Surface, Kara Surface, Joshua Bicknell, Elissa Bicknell, Caleigh Bicknell, Jace Bicknell, Dylan Pfister and Izzy Pfister, and siblings Carole, Eldena, and Royce. |
