Martha Lucile Miller

February 2, 1930 — August 26, 2023

Martha Lucile "Skeeter" Miller, age 93, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away on August 26, 2023, at Heritage Village in Waterville, Ohio. Martha was born February 2, 1930, in Grove City, Pennsylvania, to the late Samuel and Gladys (McDougal) Hall.

She attended Wynn Edgewater, Stickney Elementary Schools, and graduated in 1949 from Woodward High School. While in high school, she enjoyed script writing. Martha worked at Library on Galena and Summit Street in grade school. While in high school, she worked at Tiedkes downtown.

In August of 1949, she married and gave birth to three children. Her and her husband had a home built in point place on 108th Street and in 1957 moved to Mark Street in Toledo. Martha was involved in her children's school: PTA, Room Mother, and a Den Mother for cub scouts. Starting in 1963, she then started working at various flower shops: The Blossom Shop, Manzels, Hirzel Brothers and Peggy's Country Charm. In and around 2000, she finally retired. With her spare time, she would play Bunko, talking with her neighbors, baking butter cookies and would decorate them for every holiday. With her amazing talent, Martha would still make floral arrangements for anyone!

Those left to forever cherish her memory are her daughter, Marsha Tanner; son, David (Bonnie) Miller; grandsons, Craig (Nikki) Tanner, Christopher (Jennifer) Tanner, Jeffery (Stacey) Miller, and Jacob Miller; great grandchildren, Craig Jr. (Morgan) Tanner, Matthew Tanner, Nicholas Tanner, Autumn Tanner, Amelia Tanner, Anthony Tanner, Catherine Tanner, Brittany (Michael Oster) Tanner, Jack Miller, Skylar and Hayden Miller; great great grandchildren, Cameron and Carmen Tanner, Caiden, Lailah, and Bennett Oster; cousins, Sondra (Dale) Klavinger and their sons, Dale, Todd, Eric, and Chad, and Rhonda Bellville and Lonnie Burling; the Mynahan family and numerous other family members from Ohio and Pennsylvania. Also survived are former son-in-law, Larry Tanner and former granddaughter-in-law, Donna Frey.
