Jenny Lee Miller was born November 20, 1932, as the second child and eldest daughter to Denver and Marie Breeding. She passed away on January 5, 2022, in her home with her loving husband of nearly 69 years and her daughters by her side.

Jenny attended Clarendon Public Schools, graduating in 1950.  In March of 1951, Jenny became the first female bookkeeper for Mayo and Mayo in Holly Grove, AR.  Mr. Willie Mayo said that having a young lady in the store would never work, citing the sometimes inappropriate language shared by the men who gathered each morning around the store's butane stove. However, co-owner Mr. Oran Washington knew instinctually that Jenny was born to be a bookkeeper.  Mr. Oran took Jenny under his wing, and the gentlemen who gathered each morning checked their language at the door. Jenny wrote once, "I don't remember ever hearing any 'bad' words.  I have never been treated any better than I was at Mayo and Mayo, by the owners, the employees, and the customers."

It was in Holly Grove that Jenny met the love of her life, Frank Vandyke Miller, Sr.  Frank and Jenny were married on January 18, 1953, and began building their lives and, shortly after, their farm and their family.  Through the years, Frank and Jenny have been inseparable, and as a team, they have been devoted to their community, their church, their family, and most strongly and undeniably, to one another.

Jenny was indeed born to be a bookkeeper and did so with great enjoyment her entire adult life.  Jenny kept books for Culver Buyers of Cotton, D.A. Miller, Ralph Abramson, and Ruth Dearing.  Of course, she was the chief bookkeeper for Miller Brothers Farms, Frank Miller Farms, and Flying Farmers.  For a time, she even managed Pines Country Club doing practically everything except mowing the greens. From the large ledgers at Mayo and Mayo, to her first Apple computer that Van insisted would revolutionize her bookkeeping, to hauling her laptop to Florida, Jenny balanced the books and paid the bills without fail.

Jenny is widely known for her good cooking.  If you have not had her barbecue or cheese straws, you have not lived.  Her gardens were large, lush, and well-tended, and she spent hours upon hours canning and freezing her harvests.  Jenny's artistic skills were many, and her hands were rarely idle.  Crochet, knitting, macrame, and sewing came natural to Jenny, and she was talented at teaching those skills to any daughter, niece, or Girl Scout who would sit still long enough to learn them. Jenny was an avid reader, and she never met a crossword puzzle she could not conquer. With her nimble fingers, she was the fastest cotton picker her brothers had ever seen and the fastest pea shelter anyone has ever seen.

For a number of years, one day a week, Jenny's kitchen and dining room would be converted into a ceramics studio. With newspapers spread on each table, Jenny's friends, turned students, would carefully shave the seams off and sponge down greenware and paint on their stains and glazes.  Jenny would fire up their vases, figurines, and African Violet pots for all to enjoy.  From those creations came a number of ceramic lamps and Christmas trees which can still be found in Miller, Breeding, and Holly Grove homes today.

Jenny was a devoted member of the Holly Grove Presbyterian Church, where she served as treasurer for a number of years, each week counting the coins and making the deposit at the Bank of Holly Grove.  She served as historian for the Women of the Church and was a devoted member of her Circle.  For many years, she typed up the stencil and cranked the printing machine that produced the Sunday bulletin.

Jenny was preceded in death by her parents, Denver and Marie Breeding; her son, Frank "Van" Miller, Jr.; four brothers,  James "Jim Boy" Breeding, Richard "Rabbit" Breeding, Lloyd Breeding, and Sam Breeding; and her sister, Sandra Fisher Riner.

She is survived by her husband, Frank Miller, Sr.; daughters Pam Brown (Dale) of Helena, AR, and Jennifer Methvin (Roger) of Beebe, AR; daughter in law, Barbara Miller of Collierville, TN.,  grandchildren David Miller (Sara) of Benton, AR, Meredith Kielty (Bobby) of Canyon Lake, CA, Courtney Salmon (Kurt) of Benton, AR, Carrie Webster (Brandon) of Marvell, AR, Steven Spurlock (Crystal) of Helena, AR, Luke Methvin (Steffanie) of Damascus, AR, Matthew Methvin of Beebe, AR, and Tray Brown of Elaine, AR; twelve great grandchildren; and a host of extended family members and friends.

The family would like to extend their love and gratitude to Jenny's caregivers Early May Hill, Virginia Grayson, Chanda Gray, and Teena Carter. In addition, the family shares love and gratitude to Frank and Jenny's niece, Cindy Endsley, who provided guidance, care, and comfort through Jenny's extended hospice journey.
