Donna Kay Miller

Donna K. Miller, age 75, of Upper Sandusky, went to be with the Lord on Thursday,  October 10, 2024, at her home following a six year battle with cancer.

On January 17, 1949, Donna was born at home in Alvada, Ohio, the third of four children of the late Lawrence M. and Anna Belle (Jeffers) Higginbotham.  She graduated from Vanlue High School in 1967.

Donna dedicated her life to the Trinity Evangelical Church in Upper Sandusky.  She served there as a bookkeeper for many years, and volunteered to help wherever and whenever she was needed.  Prior to the church, she worked for many years as the secretary for the Wyandot County Farm Bureau, and also worked in the human resources department for the former Defiance Precision Products.

Very close to Donna's heart were her son, grandson, and her nephews.

She will be missed by her grandson, Seth M. Lortz of Findlay; two sisters: Sherri (Terry) Shafer of Delta, OH, and Laura (Dave) Hall of Vermont; five nieces and nephews: Todd (Michelle) Shafer, Brent (Michelle) Shafer, and Martin Higginbotham, Layne Ailinger, and Lexi Hall, and several great nieces and nephews.

Including her parents, Donna was preceded in death by her son, Scott D. Miller on October 16, 2020; and by her brother, Lawrence C. Higginbotham.

Her family will greet friends from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Tuesday, October 15, at the Lucas-Batton Funeral Home, in Upper Sandusky.   Services honoring her life will follow there at 1:00 pm, with Rev. Jim Stauffer officiating.  Burial will follow in Spring Grove Cemetery in Carey.
