Judith Ann Miller left her body on November 21, 2021, in Sedona, Arizona, where she had gone to pursue an alternative therapy for the aggressive cancer that took her life.
Judith was born in Bertha, Minnesota on November 27, 1939. Her parents, William Howard Oyster and Perle LaMay, covered her in a buffalo hide blanket and brought her home from the hospital in a horse drawn sleigh. The oldest of five girls (twins Jean and Jane, plus Juanita—aka Pete—and Jarrell), Judith spent much of her childhood following her dad around the farm while he took care of their animals. She fondly recalled sitting backwards on Nell the draft horse, leaning into her elbows on Nell’s behind so she could converse with her dad while he sat on a stool and milked cows in the barn. She learned to do farm chores at an early age and worked hard all her life. Her family lived a rustic life and only got indoor plumbing when she was in high school.
