Sally Mae Miller

March 13, 1938 — April 27, 2025

Sally Mae Miller, 87, of Grove City, OH, formerly of Marysville, OH, and before that Fredericktown, OH, passed on to the arms of her wonderful Saviour, The Lord Jesus Christ, on April 27, 2025, at her home surrounded by family. Born in Rockford, IL, March 13, 1938, the family moved to the Wadsworth, OH area in her youth. She was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Edward Miller. She was also preceded in death by two brothers, Richard Hansen and James Hansen, and her parents Richard V and Sarah (McBain) Hansen. She is survived by a son, Ron (Christine) Miller, six grandchildren, Timothy (Angel) Miller, Amy (Barnabas) Beachler, Emily (JohnPaul) Beachler, Andrew (Hannah) Miller, Daniel Miller, Hannah (Jeremiah) Fout, and five great-grandchildren, Uriah, Jael, Shiloh, Silas, and Nathan, along with many extended “unofficial” grandchildren from church, and her pets, her 35 year old African Grey parrot, Bentleyanna, and her little Havanese dog, Baby.

Sally was active in the Knox County area in the 1970s and 1980s as the owner of Sally’s Sweet Shoppe in Fredericktown, OH. An amazing cake artist, her wedding cakes were much sought after, even having customers move their wedding date if she was booked up for that weekend over a year out. She taught adult education classes in her shop as well as at the Knox County Joint Vocational School.

Sally went to college in her 40s and earned a degree in Home Economics Education with plans to teach later, but she decided to put her education and experience to work for her family. She was an excellent cook and expert seamstress. Her most favorite activities centered around her family, cooking meals, sewing clothes, and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Her faith in her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ got her through many hardships from her teens onward. She was a member of Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Columbus for 20 years. Known by all as “Mema”, she was a beloved member of the church.
