Ruth Ann Miller

Ruth Ann Miller (DeLancey) 72, of Culloden, West Virginia, passed away unexpectedly on June 8, 2026. Her sudden departure leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who knew her, but her legacy of love, humor, and dedication will live on forever. Born in Parkersburg, West Virginia, on July 29, 1953, Ruth Ann was the cherished daughter of the late Denward and Eva DeLancey. She grew up with a naturally compassionate heart, which led her to pursue a lifelong calling in healthcare. She proudly attended nursing school at the University of Kentucky and dedicated her life to her work as a Registered Nurse in healthcare administration. To Ruth Ann, nursing wasn't just a career; it was a calling to care for others, a testament to her generous spirit. Beyond her professional dedication, Ruth Ann was a woman who truly embraced life. She loved to travel, explore new places, and above all, spend time with her family. She possessed a rare and beautiful gift: she made friends with every single person she met. With an infectious smile that could light up any room and a wonderful sense of humor, she brought joy wherever she went. Ruth Ann was truly the glue of her family. She was the anchor we all leaned on, and the one everyone turned to for the absolute best advice. Ruth Ann’s greatest joy was the beautiful family she built. For 52 wonderful years, she was the devoted and loving wife of Richard Miller. Together, they created a lifetime of memories and a foundation of love that will sustain her family through this difficult time. In addition to her husband, Ruth Ann is survived by her children, who carry her spirit forward: Vincent Miller (Tiffney), Jason Miller (Jennifer), Ryan Miller (Lisa), and Kristina Aguilar (Carlos). She was the world’s proudest grandmother to her ten beloved grandchildren: Alex Miller, Eva Miller, Ryli Miller, Landon Miller, Nicholas Cadena, Ethan Miller, Emily Miller, Mateo Aguilar, Ella Miller, and Emiliano Aguilar. Ruth Ann also leaves behind her brother, Dee DeLancey; sister, Bernita Maxon; many special nieces and nephews; her dear friend of over 45 years, Debbie Crookshanks; and her beloved fur babies, including her cherished dog, Dexter.
