Ms. Margaret Miller, age 69 of Wilmington, NC, passed away on Monday, February 23, 2015 at her residence. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at Padgett Funeral Home in Wallace, NC conducted by the Rev. Addie Bonsignore. A private burial will follow at East Duplin Memorial Gardens in Beulaville, NC. The family will have a visitation one hour prior to the services at Padgett Funeral Home in Wallace, NC.
She is survived by her daughter, Lesia F. Roberts and her husband Tim of Wilmington, NC, two grandchildren, Zachary Bland Roberts and Sydney Ann Roberts of Wilmington, NC and two brothers, Ronnie Miller and wife Young of Oxford, NC and Michael Miller and wife Diane of Graham, NC, numerous nieces and nephews and her 2 special four-legged companions, Dolce and her cherished Lola.
Margaret was born on October 4, 1945 in Duplin County, NC, to the late James Oliver and Letta Howard Miller and was preceded in death by four sisters, Joy DeAngelo, Kathy Miller, Dorothy Miller and Sue Lape and one brother, James Miller.
Margaret was a wonderful and loving mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister and daughter. She had a tremendous amount of love for her family and always served as their care giver.
Margaret worked as a nurse for many years serving Duplin, Pender and New Hanover counties until joining the Pharmaceutical industry with Bayer and later retiring from Schering-Plough in 2008.
Margaret's family would like to say a special thank you to her caregivers, Pamela Barnes, Haley Laurie, Jean Prince and Peggy Potter as the last couple of months have been a long journey with Dementia and her most recent stroke. Also, a very special thank you to Elderhaus at the Lake and Lower Cape Fear Hospice for your grace and kindness.
The Lord has called an angel home and she has earned her wings! You will be forever in our hearts and if we can only love as much as you have!
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Margaret's memory to the Elderhaus at the Lake 1950 Amphitheater Drive Wilmington, NC 28401.

Margaret was my wonderful friend and neighbor when she lived at Wrightsville West. I missed her very much when she moved. I will always remember her as one of the most giving people I've ever known. My deepest sympathy.

Many of my memories are filled with afternoons with Sydney at Grandma's house. I'm so glad I was able to experience those times. Heaven gained a kind, life-loving, funny, strong woman. She will be greatly missed. My heart and my love goes out to Lesia, Tim, Sydney and Zach; a generous, loving family that was cared for me and for my family during difficult times, and to all others whom this sweet lady touched in her lifetime.

Lesia, I have great, fond memories of growing up two doors down from you. Memories of watching Elvis Presley movies with your Mama. Boy how she loved them. She pierced my ears for the first time. She was a very sweet lady. Your mama has always been proud of you and you took great care of her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love you.

As a neighbor classmate and best friend I will always cherish the memory of her being there for me with a loving word of wisdom or any kindness she would share with me. Being best friends for a life time now an emptiness has come over me. There are no best friends as special as my friend lost. I will miss her but now she is not suffering any more and I find solace in knowing she is at rest
As a neighbor classmate and best friend I will always cherish the memory of her being there for me with a loving word of wisdom or any kindness she would share with me. Being best friends for a life time now an emptiness has come over me. There are no best friends as special as my friend lost. I will miss her but now she is not suffering any more and I find solace in knowing she is at rest and in a wonderful place. This special woman was in a place in my heart that no one else can fill. I wish I had told her more how much I loved her. There must be others who loved her greatly. She was always genuine and the same every time I saw her. Margaret was the kindest person I have ever known. Her child Lesia is just like this very special person. With tears in my eyes I say thank the Good Lord I had the privilege of knowing her. Love to you always my friend Margaret.kk
