Miller, Charlotte Jane (Hutton),
79, of Fairdale gracefully whispered her final eternal earthly breath on February 9, 2018 while embracing her family. Charlotte was born in Louisville, Ky on July 16, 1938 and was the only child of her parents Sim W. Hutton & Carrie Elizabeth (Sheehan) Hutton.
Charlotte & her only true love, Donald Lee Miller were married in 1957 and were together for over 60 years when death caused them to part in this world. Charlotte was ahead of her time in being a mother to her two sons, Donald L. Miller II & Daniel Dale Miller, and a wife to the love of her life. She provided for her family by driving a school bus for over 40 years for JCPS. Her determination to do her job keep her on track through the turmoil of the beginning of desegregation-related busing in 1976 even when threatened by adults and having crosses burned in her yard. She knew the kids were her "precious cargo" with no bad feelings in their hearts. Her family joked that her bus driver-related experiences, along with her deep faith as a member of the Church of Christ guaranteed her the "express elevator" to Heaven.
