She & Bill enjoyed taking the teens on trips to Colorado, Red River, NM and various other places. She was not only a teacher to them but was like a Mother to many of them who loved her dearly. She later became a member of Del City Nazarene Church. Veda was preceded in death by her parents, Ethel & Paullus Miller, her brothers, Bill Miller, Floyd Miller and J.R. Miller.
