Her sense of humor, playful spirit and friendly smile were there with her until the very end. She was born in Chicago on March 10th, 1928 to Marion Willis Jeffris and Rufus Jeffris. She attended North Shore Country Day in Winnetka and Vassar College. She met Lynn Miller on a blind date in 1946 and they eloped in New Haven secretly in the Spring of 1948 with a formal wedding in Winnetka on September 6th, 1948. She is survived by Marion Jennings (Bob), Roys Thedinger (Brad), Lynn Miller Jr, Rufus Miller (Blair) and Jackie Hawkey (Hal). She had eight grandchildren and seven great-children.
Jeff and Lynn started their married life in Northfield, Ill. After Northfield, they lived in St. Louis and Houston, and then retired in Evergreen, CO in 1989. In addition to raising five children, Jeff won many tennis titles, ultimately playing in the National Tennis Championship at Forest Hills with her long time doubles partner. She was also a life-long volunteer, committing many hours a week to Red Cross work, the Laotian refugees in Houston in the late ‘70s and to teaching reading to under-resourced students in the projects in Chicago.
