DAVIS FAMILY FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)

Ida Ettalee Miller of Ramona, went home to the Lord on Saturday. She was 86 and had lived a full and blessed life as a beloved wife of 68 years, mom, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to many. As a daughter and sister, she became known as Bobbie to her childhood friends, and later was known as Ida.

Ida Ettalee was born the daughter of Virgil Sawyer and Zella Floyd on Feb. 23, 1932, in Hermitage, MO. When she was not even two, her mom passed and little Ida went to live with her grandparents for a few years while her father worked in California. Later, after the family moved to Oklahoma, Ida attended Ramona schools. When she was in the 4th grade, she met the boy who would become the love of her life. As teenagers, Ida and Bill dated, then tied the love knot on July 2, 1947. The couple made their home in Ramona, moving to their farm in 1959 where Ida helped her husband with crops and cattle. Of all the things they raised, their children were their proudest accomplishment. Ida liked to stay busy and when she wasn’t working on the land, she was busy crafting, making jewelry and t-shirts, and sewing children’s clothes and dresses. She looked forward to spending time with her grandkids and great grandkids.

Ida is survived by her loving husband William Eldon (Bill) Miller; three children, Ruby Collier and Phillip of Meeker, OK, Wilma Burton, and Floyd Miller and Lois, all of Ramona; one sister Mitzi Shewee of Buhl, Idaho; and one brother Virgil Gene Sawyers and Rita of Chicago; as well as five grandchildren, Joe Miller, Billy Jo Miller, Bonnie Fifer, Amanda Burr, Michael Collier; eight great grandchildren, Cody Miller, Korey Miller, Jennifer Fifer, Jasmine Fifer, Jett Fifer, Michael Collier, Shane Collier, Ryder Collier, and one great great grandchild Hayden Miller.

She is preceded in death by her parents, stepmother Zeffie Sawyer, two brothers Jamie Sawyer and Charles Schoneover, son Billy Eldon Miller, son-in-law Robert Lee Burton and grandson Clinton Collier.

Visitation will be 10-8 on Tuesday, Sept. 12. Ida’s family will receive friends on Tues., from 6-8 p.m. at Davis Family Funeral Home, 918-534-3030, 113 S. Osage (Hwy. 75), Dewey.
