Nancy Miller Obituary

Nancy C. Miller

February 11, 2024

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina - Nancy Miller, age 84, passed away on February 11, 2024, in Hilton Head, SC. She was born Nancy Christensen on December 12, 1939, in Madison, WI, to Elsie and Harlan Christensen. Nancy is survived by her twin brother Tom Christensen, son Andrew (wife Joanne), daughter Amy Crisp (husband Brandon), and her beloved grandchildren Ridge, Coby, Terra, Nathan, Molly, Anna, AJ, and Kermit. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother Jim Christensen.

Nancy was a proper lady, always meticulously coiffed and dressed, and her home was always immaculate. She took adversity in stride and was even-tempered. Nancy was a kind and devoted mother to her children, Amy and Andrew, often keeping them lovingly clothed in hand-knit sweaters.

Nancy was involved for many years as the pastor's wife at First Presbyterian Church on Hilton Head and more recently found a church home at Holy Family Catholic Church, where she served as a Religious Educator and Lay Eucharistic Minister.

In her free time, Nancy was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority and P.E.O. philanthropic organization, and she cherished her friendships within these groups.

Her comforting manner, penchant for sweets, and easy laugh will be greatly missed.

There will be a visitation at Island Funeral Home from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Thursday, February 29, and a Mass of Christian Burial is planned for Friday, March 1, at Holy Family Catholic Church on Hilton Head at 11:00 am to be followed by a reception. Nancy will be buried at Six Oaks Cemetery. Islandfuneralhome.com.

I first met Nancy in 2nd grade at the Eastside school in Stoughton Wis. Her father Harland Christensen had purchased the Eastside Funeral Home on Main street and Church Streets on Stoughton´s east side. My family live on Church Street 2 doors north of their home, which was on the top floor of the splendid funeral Home. Her twin brother Tom and I became best friends. Nancy was Cute to say the east. I have been known to proclaim that she became my first girl friend at 7 years old.

Will my family moved to the west side of Stoughton in the 4th grade, her brother Tom remained a super friend. In the past years I have kept my connection with Nancy and her twin brother Tom. I and my late wife Marilyn made near annual trip to Marco ISLAND Fla. Following her death I returned to Marxo
island Florida annually. On these years I often met Nancy on Hilton Head for dinner. She never changed. She was always sweet and classy. I will alway think of her as Family!
