Lawrence
A celebration of life will be held for Josie Miller, 34, of Lawrence. Date and time are forthcoming. She passed away on Saturday, March 15th, 2025, in her home.
She was born January 5th, 1991, in Kansas City, Kansas to Clay and Paula Miller. She grew up in Lawrence. She graduated from Free State high school in 2012.
Josie loved being outdoors and on the move. She enjoyed car rides, hearing birds singing, listening to music, and playing with her musical toys. Most of all, Josie loved people, especially her family. She had a highly contagious laugh and an infectious smile that everyone loved to see.
She was preceded in death by her father, Clay. She is survived by her mother, Paula; sisters Destiny, of Osawatomie, Jessica, of Lawrence, and Cassandra; and her brothers Chance (Kayla), of Overbrook, Braden, of Lawrence, and Caleb, of Lawrence.
Other survivors include many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews, and her roommates and staff members at GoodLife.
