Isaac Allen Miller

WINSTON-SALEM - Isaac Allen Miller, age 82, went home to the Lord on Saturday, March 31, 2012 at Baptist Hospital surrounded by his loving family. He fought a valiant fight with Alzheimer's for the last six years before he just got too tired and God called him home. Isaac was born on January 29, 1930 to Hamp and Etta Miller in Ashe County, NC, the tenth of thirteen children. He was predeceased by his parents, five sisters and three brothers. He is survived by his brother, Paul Miller (Mae) of N. Wilkesboro, three sisters, Betty Pardue (J.S.), Raydell Meeker, and Sadie Jarvis, all of Wilkes County.

He was a member of Linville Forest Church of Christ and helped serve the Lord's Supper as long as his health permitted. He moved his family from N. Wilkesboro to Winston-Salem in 1956 and went to work for Martin Motor Lines as a truck driver. He went to work for Epes Transport in 1975 and retired in 1995. He then went back to Epes Transport as a part time driver until his health starting catching up with his age. He started driving at age 13.
