Rev. Joe Mack Miller (Daddy, Papaw, Uncle Joe), originally of Spencer County Indiana,
went home to Jesus peacefully Easter morning, with family by his side. Family remaining in
celebration of his life on this earth include his wife of 73 years, Janice Miller; son, Joe L Miller;
daughter, Carla (John) Schetzsle; granddaughters Kali Schetzsle (David Rigdon), and Kristi
Schetzsle (Bill Stull); great granddaughters Aailyah Keys and Brielle Stull; sister-in-law, Dianna
Enlow; nieces Sandra (John) Roberts, Mary Jo (Charlie) Patterson, Francy Miller; nephews, Wally
Murphy, and Matthew (Gayle) Enlow.
Joe lived a full life and passed at the age of 94. He was a farmer who received the calling
and continued his education through ministry, serving congregations as a United Methodist
Minister for over 60 years, in churches that include United Methodist Church, Rockport,
Indiana; United Methodist Church, Jacksonburg, Ohio; Mt. Zion United Methodist Church,
Crawfordsville, Indiana; Faith United Methodist Church, Indianapolis, Indiana; United Methodist
Church, Seymour, Indiana; Fairlawn United Methodist Church, Evansville, Indiana. Joe lived his
faith in service to others. He and his wife opened their home to over 50 foster children over the
years. Enjoying his retirement in Evansville, and then moved to Crawfordsville for the last few
years, Joe was able to spend more time with family; playing cards (especially UNO), tinkering
and fixing things for those he knew and loved, and spending time with his granddaughters and
great granddaughters, his pride and joy. He asked that you love and cherish your family as he
did his.
The immediate family will have a small life celebration, no service to be held. In lieu of
flowers it was Joe's wish to have contributions made to the United Methodist Youth Home, a
nonprofit that he helped to build and establish for at-risk youth.
