Obituary

Dr. J.V. "Doc" Miller, age 89 of Kerrville, Texas, passed away Thursday, March 21, 2013, in a local hospital. He was born Oct. 21, 1923, in El Campo, Texas. He is preceded in death by his parents, Dr. C.R. Miller and Connie Hunt; two brothers, Chester and Archie; one sister, Lois; and one daughter, Patricia. He is survived by his wife, Marjorie Miller; and his children, Jim Miller, Kathi Miller, Lisa Adair Watson, Fran Ince, Jeff Miller and Beverly Clark. He has eight beautiful grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandkids. He met and married the love of his life, Marge Gilmore, in 1946. They moved to Plainview, Texas, and lived a wonderful life for 60 years. J.V. became an outstanding chiropractor and helped many residents of Plainview with his healing gift. He was a member of St. Alice Catholic Church, Plainview Rodeo Association, and was a past president of the Texas State Chiropractic Association, as well as a life member of the Benevolent Order of Elks. Doc and Marge were members of the Plainview Country Club where they had the best of friends, and Doc was a constant on the golf course with his joy in the game. He also was an avid big game hunter, but one of his greatest loves after his family was his love of Appaloosa horses which he raised and won many trophies with. Doc and Marge moved to Kerrville in January 2008 to be near their children, where they lived happily every after. Memorial services will be held later this year in Plainview. In lieu of flowers, it was Doc's wish that they spend that money on someone in their own family.
