Judith (Judy) Rae Miller, 83, a resident of Boise and formerly of Gooding, passed away Tuesday, September 10, 2024 in Boise at her daughter Stephanie’s home. During Judy’s illness, Stephanie lovingly cared for her.
Judy is the daughter of Ray and Juanita (Maxwell) Harding. She was raised in Gooding on a farm and graduated from Gooding High School in 1959. Judy and her sister Ann often reflected on the legacy that their loving parents left them. They were taught to be conservative Patriots and to love and serve their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
She married Frank Miller in 1957. To this union, Stephanie Jacquelin and Bradston Craig were born. Judy loved her children with her whole heart!
Judy’s first love was for her Lord and Savior, Jesus. Her second love was for her beloved family and her many friends.
Judy’s third love was her oversea travels. She visited 34 countries, sometimes with family and friends and sometimes by herself. Judy served on two medical mission trips. One in Thailand and one in Haiti. The picture she chose for her obituary was taken in Chania, Crete, one of the Greek Islands. Judy’s home was a masterpiece of her travels. Everywhere she traveled she always brought a treasure for her home and treasures of the region for others.
She is survived by her children - Stephanie Robinson and Bradston (Teresa) Miller; her grandchildren – Aimee (Hezekiah) Hale, Daniel Miller and Justin (Sarah Day) Robinson; nine great grandchildren and one great, great, grandchild. Also, she is survived by her sister, Ann (Dennis) Hall and by her nieces, nephews and their families. Judy is also survived by her many, many friends and her prayer partners.
She is preceded in death by her parents and a great nephew, Matthew Scanlon.
We love you Judy and you are missed, but we also know that you are home now with our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
