Roxana M. Miller

Roxana M. Mitchell Landman Miller, known by "Roxi", of Carmichaels, Pa., went home to our Lord on Sunday, November 8, 2020 in the home of her daughter, Carol Metcalf, in Carmichaels surrounded by her family. She was born on June 26, 1944 in Cumberland Township, Greene County, Pa. to Frank and Mary (Kunkle) Mitchell.

Roxi was a member of the Class of 1962 of Cumberland Township High School in Carmichaels. She completed the licensed practical nurse program at the Greene County Vo-Tech in 1981 and later received her registered nursing certificate in 1997 at the age of 53 from the Harrisburg Community College. She worked at Greene County Memorial Hospital, Waynesburg, Monongalia General Hospital, Morgantown, W. Va., Beverly Healthcare in Gettysburg, Pa. and Tripil in Uniontown, Pa. Roxie was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Carmichaels, the St. Hugh's Senior Activity Group, Carmichaels and a lifetime member with the Carmichaels Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3491 Women's Auxiliary. Her first husband, David Carl Landman, whom she married on February 22, 1964, died December 14, 1976. She then married Donald Wayne Miller on March 20, 1982 and he passed on April 3, 2004.

Left to cherish her memory are three daughters and their spouses, Mary Jean Pratt (Christopher) and Carol Metcalf (Terry), all of Carmichaels and Marlene Nelson (Rick) of Nemacolin; two sons, Daniel Whipkey of Brave, Pa. and Wayne Whipkey of Aleppo, Pa. and a daughter-in-law, Stephanie Whipkey-Patterson of Aleppo. Roxi's biggest blessing in life was being called "Nannie" by her 12 grandchildren, Jacki Cupples (James A.), Brandy Shreve, Jason Caldwell, Gina Riggleman, Tabitha Shumam, Kristy Borovichka (Nathan), Rachael Pratt, Patrick Pratt, Stephanie Pratt, Jessica Metcalf, Jeremy Nelson and Garrett Nelson. She was "Grandmaw" to 20 great grandchildren and was expecting another grandson, Braxton, later this month and her first great great grand daughter, Amelia Lou, in February. Deceased in addition to her two husbands and parents are a sister Sarah Boord and brothers J. C., Gardner and William. Also surviving are her siblings and their spouses, Ruth Enci (John) of Carmichaels, Minister Zane Mitchell (Dolores) of Carmichaels and Charles "Kunkle" Mitchell (Janie) of Crucible, Pa. and a beloved brother-in-law, Ronald Boord of Uniontown, Pa. Roxi's two special friends were Marilyn Banghart and Frances Pratt.

Roxi was at home when she passed and was provided the best care by her daughters Carol, with whom she resided, and Mary Jean. Also, supportive care was provided by Amedisys Hospice. The family would like to express a special thank you to Father Frazier, Pastor Becky, Amedisys Pastor Dave, Amedisys Home Health nurse Novosha, Amedisys Hospice nurses and aides and the ambulance service of EMS Southwest.
The daughters are respecting Roxi's wishes of no public visitation and a private burial in Gettysburg, Pa. A celebration of life dinner will be held at the convenience of the family. Arrangements are under the direction of Yoskovich Funeral Home, Carmichaels.

Roxi's greatest joy in her life was being a nurse. A scholarship in her honor has been established for the Licensed Practical Nurse Program at the Greene County Career and Technology Center, Waynesburg. Donations can be made to
