About Delores Susan Miller
Delores Susan Shepherd Miller, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully surrounded by family in Mesa, AZ on April 30, 2025, at the age of 87.
Born on July 10, 1937, in Montrose, Colorado to Rollins Don Carlos Shepherd and Zelora May Hiett Shepherd, Delores moved with her family to Arizona when she was three years old, where she spent the rest of her life.
She married her high school sweetheart, Revell Kay Miller, Sr., on November 21, 1955, and together they built a life centered on devotion to each other, their family, and their shared faith in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Delores had a deep love for sewing, quilting, crafting, and gardening. She especially loved giving handmade Christmas gifts to all her children and grandchildren each year. She found joy in the beauty of the outdoors and cherished the many road trips she took with Revell in their motor home, exploring nature and church history sites across the country.
She is preceded in death by her loving husband, her parents, her brothers Earl Austin Hiett, Max Shepherd, and Roy Shepherd and her son Robert Lynn Miller.
Delores is survived by her six children: R. Kay (Lorie) Miller, Julie (William) Lovell, Martha Jo Nelson, Kathleen (Ken) Pittam, and Laura (Michael) Shaw; Nyle (Lea) Miller.
She is very proud of her legacy: 7 children, 33 grandchildren, 78 great-grandchildren (#79 coming soon), and two great-great-grandchildren (#3 coming soon).
Her kind smile, unwavering faith, and spirit of service will be remembered and cherished by all who knew her.
