Dr. Glen Orville Miller passed away July 11, 2023, at the age of 92 at Stone Creek Senior Living, North Richland Hills, Texas. He was born February 4, 1931, the seventh child of Lewis B. Miller and Henrietta “Retta” (Barge) Miller, at the family farm in Enid, Oklahoma. He received his elementary education at Freehome School, a one room country schoolhouse near the family home. He attended junior and senior high school in Enid graduating May, 1949. College work began at Phillips University in Enid where he completed his freshman and sophomore years and then continued at Oklahoma City University where he received his B.A. degree in May, 1953. He graduated from Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, with a Master of Theology in 1956. That same year he was ordained as an Elder in the Oklahoma Conference of the Methodist Church. On February 6, 1954, Glen married fellow OCU student Nancy Morehouse at her hometown, Afton, Oklahoma. They shared in ministry for 25 years and raised three children, Shirley, Karen, and Richard, prior to Nancy’s death in March, 1979. Glen received his license to preach in the spring of 1949 at the age of 18 beginning a life-long ministry of serving 18 different United Methodist local churches. In addition, he was appointed to Oklahoma City University twice: once as Dean of the Chapel and Director of the Church Leadership Center for four years and then from 1988-1995 as the Vice-President of Church Relations, his last appointment before retiring from the United Methodist itineracy. Throughout his career, Glen also provided leadership on numerous conference agencies, such as chairing the Board of Ordained Ministry, overseeing the training and approval of new pastors. On August 25, 1985, OCU awarded Glen an honorary Doctorate of Divinity Degree. Earlier in his career, his leadership in civic affairs earned him the Distinguished Service Award of the Jaycees of Anadarko and later he was listed in the 1967 edition of Outstanding Young Men in America. Glen loved leading Methodist youth camps and specialized in games and his infamous folk dancing lessons! Of particular interest to Glen and the entire Miller family is the history of Canyon Camp near Hinton. In the early 1950s, Glen’s parents were instrumental in securing that property for the Oklahoma Conference. In 2011 Glen wrote Devils Canyon, a well-researched history of the camp and its distinctive natural environment. Glen married Shirley “Yvonne” Miller on November 26, 1982, and they enjoyed over 40 years of marriage. Together they served First UMC in Chickasha and OCU. Retiring to Enid, they restored the family farm and were active at both New Hope UMC and First UMC, Enid, including the conference clergy retiree fellowship. Glen was particularly interested in the mission work of their local church, singing in the choir, and programming with the congregation’s senior adults. They enjoyed traveling and time with their children and grandchildren. His hobbies included woodworking (building church-shaped birdhouses) and cultivating a large tasty vegetable garden. Glen faithfully served in ministry in The United Methodist Church for 42 years and kept the faith until the end.

Chris Conway had two daughters Rachel and Sarah, who were near and dear to her heart. Her son Chris Chandler was one of her biggest treasures and she lit up whenever she was around him. It was because of her faith and persistence in prayer, that Chris came to know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. She was a loving daughter to her mom Lyvonne Davis.
