Graveside burial services will be at 10 a.m., on Tuesday, Aug. 12, in Ames Municipal Cemetery. “Oodie” was born in Estherville on Jan. 3, 1919, and was the only daughter of William H. and Anna (Clement) Dooley. She was raised in Estherville and attended publics schools and Estherville Junior College. Oodie married Walter N. Miller, of Terril, on Sept. 2, 1942 in Olympia, Wash., (McChord Field) while Walt was attending training prior to World War II. She returned to Estherville to live with her parents during WWII, awaiting the return of Walt from England. This marked the beginning of a number of tours of duty, including the post-war occupation of Germany and numerous relocations as the beginning of the organization of the USAF. Domestic military stations included Biloxi, Miss., Dayton, Ohio, Shreveport, La., Albuquerque, N.M., and Sault Sainte Marie, Mich., as well as bases in California &Guam. She was a devoted Air Force wife during Walt’s 27 -year military career. The family enjoyed the excitement of frequent relocations and vacations to exotic areas of the Far East and throughout Europe. Following Walt’s retirement from the USAF in 1963, the family settled in Ames, where Oodie lived for 30 years. She and Walt were members of St. John’s Episcopal Church. Walt earned a master’s degree from Iowa State University and taught high school in Central Iowa. Oodie and Walt were devoted Ames High and Iowa State fans, holding season tickets from the 1970s to early 1990s. They were members of Ames Golf &Country Club and Elks Lodge. She relocated to Alexandria, Va., in 1993 following the passing of Walt. She is survived by one daughter, Anne, of Austin, Texas; one son, Maury (Barbara), of Austin, Texas,; granddaughters Elizabeth Lamb (Austin), of Austin, Texas, and Rebecca of Arlington, Texas; and one grandson, Michael, of Phoenix. She was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; and two brothers, Clement and Francis. (Ames Tribune, Ames, IA, August 8, 2014)
