Survivors include her loving husband of 54 years, Wayne Miley; one daughter, Alison Miley Cupit and husband, Mark, of Vidalia; two grandsons, Cole Cupit of Frogmore and Carson Cupit of Vidalia; and her loving extended family and her “100” best friends.
Pallbearers will be Cole Cupit, Carson Cupit, Wendel Miley, Randy Miley, Bodie Miley and Dick Whitaker.
