Patricia McNeil Miller went home to be with her Heavenly Father on Friday, September 4, 2026, at the age of 83 years old. She was born on April 17, 1943, in Show Low, Arizona to parents, Warren and Coriene Frost McNeil.

Pat was a graduate of Show Low High School in Arizona.  She moved to Texas in 1972 and worked in the mortgage business in Houston, Texas, rising to be a Vice President of Home Savings of America before retiring and purchasing Lillian's Café in Franklin in 1980, which ultimately became the Pioneer Café and Motel. Pat devoted herself to the community and was always ready to help those less fortunate or who had fallen on hard times, whether that was a job, a hot meal, a room, or giving endlessly to various organizations that needed her help.

Pat was a loving mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend to many. She had a deep faith and love for her Savior and never hesitated to tell others of her faith. Pat showed the love and mercy she was shown by the Lord to others whenever she could. Everyone knew that if they needed something they could go to Pat, and more often than not, she would step in to help. Pat will be deeply missed by all that knew and loved her, but we find comfort in knowing she is now with her Lord and Savior and those that have gone on before, and she is just waiting on everyone she loves to join her.

Pat is preceded in death by her parents, Warren and Coriene McNeil; her son, Kenneth Miller; brothers, Monte McNeil and Jerel McNeil; and sister, Mary Ann McNeil Spiller.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory, daughter, Jackie McNeil and grandson, Gary McNeil, of Dunedin, Florida; sister, Denise Peck of Tucson, Arizona; her precious granddaughters: Kathy Lynn Miller and husband Leif Erickson of Irvine, Kentucky, Jessica Miller and husband Devon Avery of Sylvania, Ohio, and Jennah Miller of Oklahoma; her great grandson Azreal Erickson Miller. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life for Pat will be held on Monday, October 5, 2026, from 6-8 P.M. at McCauley Funeral Home in Franklin, Texas. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to St. Jude's, as Pat loved children and it would please her immensely for donations to go to this worthy cause.
