McCOOK, Nebraska -- Alma Katherine Miller, age 92, of McCook, passed away Saturday, July 12, 2014, at the Community Hospital in McCook.
Alma was born April 24, 1922, in Culbertson, Nebraska, to parents Peter and Katherine (Kindsfatter) Frick. The family made their home in Culbertson, where Alma graduated from Culbertson High School in 1940.
On August 21, 1943, Alma married Raymond A. Miller in Oberlin, Kansas. To this union five children were born.

She was a volunteer at the Hitchcock County Food Pantry, a UMYF sponsor, a Red Cross volunteer and also served as a Girl Scout Leader.

Alma was very artistic, creating oil paintings, stain glass designs, ceramics and needle work. She also enjoyed playing card games and playing the piano for special occasions.
Alma was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond Miller of Culbertson; and eight brothers, Peter, Ruben, Edward, Harry, Jake, Elmer, and two infants.
