Carol Lynn (Rogers) Miller passed away peacefully on Sunday morning, August 31, 2025, in Loveland, Colo., surrounded by her family. 

She was born December 18, 1952, to Mary Lou (Joosten) and Alan Rogers in Fort Atkinson, Wis., and grew up in Whitewater as the oldest of their four children. Carol graduated from Whitewater High School in 1971, where she met the love of her life, David Miller. They married on May 27, 1972, in Ogden, Kansas, where he was stationed in the U.S. Army. The couple returned to Whitewater where they raised two sons, Ryan and Todd.

Carol took her responsibilities as a stay-at-home mom seriously and was fiercely loyal, especially with family. She was a beloved favorite aunt and a quilt artist, creating dozens of extraordinary quilts for family and friends. She was smart and witty, taking charge of family holidays and events, and vetting her brothers’ girlfriends and wives.

In her professional life, Carol was a business woman, operating the local Ranch House restaurant with her husband Dave. She later worked at Fort Atkinson Memorial Hospital and volunteered with the Whitewater Rescue Squad. Upon retirement, Carol and Dave saw the United States, living for a time in The Villages, Fla., and traveling in their RV, eventually settling in Loveland to be near family.

Carol is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, Dave, Loveland; her son Ryan, Loveland; and son Todd (Megan), Riner, Va; grandsons Jackson, Bodhi, and Eamon; her three brothers, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents. 

A private celebration of life for family members will be held at a later date.
