    A very special "Thanks" to our children for giving us a most perfect 50th wedding anniversary reception. You said, — "Mom and Dad, all we ask you to do is to show up! We'll do all the rest.'' You certainly did, and Mom and Dad are so proud of you.

    You made us feel that, when God blessed us with you in our care, that we've done a good job. For there is nothing so quick to bring a tear to the eye, or a smile to the face — as your children.

    Thanks and love,
    A proud Mom and Dad
    Phyllis and Clyde Miller

    Sincere thanks to our family and the many friends who attended the 50th anniversary reception our children gave us at the Rossville American Legion Sunday afternoon, May 20.


    This was a busy day for all with so many graduations at this time.

    Thanks for sharing it with us, too. Your presence, along with the lovely cards and gifts, made our special day truly a perfect day. Thanks!
    Clyde and Phyllis Miller

    Phyllis "Kate" Miller

    Topeka - Phyllis "Kate" Miller, 61, of Topeka, passed away on January 5, 2022 surrounded by her children.

    She was born on November 12, 1960 to Clyde and Phyllis (Sorden) Miller in Topeka, KS.

    Kate graduated from Washburn University in 1995 with a degree in business. She worked for the United States Postal Service for 24 years. Kate went above and beyond in her role as a mother to her children, and without hesitation would extend that "momness" to the friends and significant others of her children. She loved being a grandmother more than anything, often spoiling her grandchildren & telling stories about them whenever she got the chance.

    Kate is survived by her life partner, James Hagedorn; children, Katie (Phillip) Martin, Morgan (Leonard Cobin Jr.) McNorton, Thomas McNorton, and Haley (Andrew) Golding; grandchildren, Grace Bartley, Jacob Bartley, Camden Martin, and expecting Baby Martin in August 2022.

    She was preceded in death by both of her parents; her sister, Peggy Wilkinson, and her son-in-law Kyle Bartley.

    Memorial services will be held on Thursday, January 20, 2022, 3:00 pm at the Parker-Price Cremations, Funerals & Receptions.

    Memorial contributions may be made to Kate Miller Fund to be used for her grandchildren's future.
