Fannie was born July 20, 1918, in Ayden, N.C., to the late Charles Henry and Fannie Susan Heath McLawhorn. She was the last born of nine children, and also the last survivor of her siblings. Grandma, as she was known by most, was raised on a tobacco farm and graduated from high school in North Carolina. Her dream as a young woman was to become a nurse; however, her father thought that career was not "proper for a lady." She left North Carolina and moved to Virginia to attend Norfolk Business College, meeting and marrying Max L. Miller on February 7, 1942, who survives. They were blessed with three children. Fannie was a loving mother, wonderful homemaker, seamstress, and always had a thriving vegetable and flower garden. On March 6, 1965, she married James G. Brown, who preceded her in death. Fannie called Elkton her home for 20 years, residing with her daughter, Susan and son-in-law, Bill McDonald. Bill was her constant sidekick and best friend. During these years she was a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Elkton. Fannie ran the house and cared for her granddaughters, Jessica and Cortland as her own. Survivors include her daughter, Susan and husband, Bill McDonald, of Elkton; one son, Gary Max Miller of Texas; 11 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren from both marriages. She was preceded in death by infant son, Jerry Glen Miller. She was especially thankful to Elkton Family Clinic, Pete Hill, also her extended church family. She loved the neighborhood "kids" especially Frank Hatsfield and Shawnta Becks. A celebration of her life service will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 3, 2012, at the Kyger Funeral Home Chapel in Elkton, with the Rev. Everett Hughes Jr. and the Rev. Warren Grant officiating. The family will receive friends following the funeral service on Sunday. Burial will be at 2 p.m. Monday, June 4, 2012, at Woodlawn Cemetery in Norfolk, Va. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the First Baptist Church, P.O. Box 221, Elkton, VA 22827, or a charity of your choice. ~Daily News Record, June 2, 2012
