Gary L. Miller

Gary L. Miller, 78, of Oakville, passed away the afternoon of Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at the UPMC Carlisle Hospital.

He was born on September 15, 1946, a son of the late Henry William and Winifred Bernice Eyer Miller, Sr. He married Betty M. Corkle on April 15, 1994. She preceded him in death on November 8, 2008.

Gary was a graduate of the Big Spring High School and worked for the former Greif Company, Shippensburg. He was a member of the Shippensburg Fish & Game, lifetime member of the NRA, and attended the Chambersburg Alliance Church. 

Gary was an avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys and loved anything science fiction; reading countless books and watching a number of TV shows and movies. He enjoyed doing crossword puzzles and was an outdoor enthusiast who loved to hunt. Anyone who knew Gary, knew he was a selfless, giving person who enjoyed helping others. Above all else, Gary’s biggest pride and joy in life was his family, especially his grandchildren.

Miller and wife Melisa of Shippensburg; six grandchildren, Lacey Lex and husband Scott, Nathan Miller, Morgan Miller, Kendra Hoffmann and husband Layton, Colby Miller and wife Ally, and Kaylee Miller; and one great-grandson, Maverick Hoffmann.
