Nora Betsy Miller (14 May 1925 - 2 Aug 2020)

In loving memory of Nora Betsy Miller who sadly passed away on 2nd August 2020
Loving Wife to George and mother to Sandra, Joyce, Peter, Stephen & Robert. Grandmother, Great grandmother and Great Grate grandmother to family in Australia, Qatar, New Zealand and various places in the UK.

Mother enjoyed life to the full, In our child hood days the family would go cycling and youth hostelling together.
After we had left home, Mothers first passion then became her charity work and photography with dad.

In her earlier years at 15 mother with the help of others organised her first charity concert party and performed in the surrounding villages to Saxilby raising money for the red cross.

When Mother left school she did her part for the war effort working at the Avro aircraft factory helping to repair damaged aircraft and getting them ready for further use. When she again re-stated her charity work mother spent 10 years with the care of the elderly, then helped out with the WVS,
Mother actually learnt to drive at the age of 40 then went on to join social services doing meals on wheels. However after a hip operation mother then through herself into raising money for Mencap Lincoln and over the years raised in excess of £30,000 which helped to build the Mencap Centre in Tenticroft Street. After the closure of the Mencap centre, Mother then went on to raise money for the Long-Leys centre that became Busydays daycare located at Queens Park Community Hub Lincoln.
In later years Mother moved to Rooks Close Saxilby and said to me many times that this was the best move she ever made after loosing George, she met many new and close friends there, and fully enjoyed her time with them. On behalf of Mother thank you Rooks Close and Saxilby for helping to make mothers life a happy and enjoyable one.
Mother wrote a considerable amount about her life and as I have said before that charity work was her passion.

Even though she knew she was in her last few days, her thoughts were with the charity work she did and wrote .
"I wonder how Pat (Busy days) is getting on she needs all the help she can get with her group, its money again and I am useless at present" Then ask us not to forget them.

Well Mother on behalf of all your family and everyone you helped, you may not have been able to do much at the time of writing this, but you were never useless, You were the type of person that passionately and unselfishly gave your time and effort to achieve the goal's that you attained. We are all very proud of you and you will never be forgotten.

Thank you on behalf of all the people you have helped through your years of giving.
As a closure to this obituary I (Peter) will very much miss our trips out to the Lincolnshire Wolds that you loved so dearly and the trips to Sutton on Sea for fish and chips and a trips along the sea shore.

Sleep soundly Mother, as you go to meet Dad, Joyce and Stephen who were taken away from us far to early

Your Loving Family shall miss you dearly.
