Ruthie Mae (Goff) Miller
Ruthie Mae (Goff) Miller was promoted to a heavenly angel at age 83 on Saturday, March 2 at 9:44 p.m. surrounded by her loving family. Ruthie was born to James & Dorothy (Yarbrough) Goff on October 28, 1940, in Memphis, TN.
After moving around with her family for several years, she landed in Gonzales, LA. While living in Gonzales, she attended a church youth camp where she met the love of her life, her prince, David Miller. After bonding over a snow cone at youth camp, they courted for a while then married on June 8, 1963, and celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in 2023.
David and Ruthie began their family in 1965 with the birth of their first-born son, Kendrick (Kenny) Louis Miller. Voris Anthony (Tony) Miller joined them 18 months later. Then 18 months after that David Louis (Davie) Miller, II. was born. With 3 amazing young boys, they followed the leading of God and moved to Nederland, TX in 1970. In 1974, they had their daughter, Amaris Ruth Miller (Cunningham).
Ruthie loved and served the Lord from a very young age. She and David continued to serve the Lord together and raise their children in a Godly home. Ruthie never ceased to show the love of God to everyone she met. If you spent any amount of time with her, you would know that the key to life is to “watch your words” and “send out good ships”. Ruthie never had a bad word to say about anyone and would advocate for anyone having a bad time in life. She was an angel to everyone she met, and she never met a stranger.
Ruthie devoted her life to her family, her children and her Lord. She had a love for music all of her life. She sang in church and spent many hours learning to play the piano at home. She whole-heartedly believed that praising the Lord was the best solution to every problem. She was a founding member of many churches, the most recent one being Cowboy Church on the Rock in Beaumont, TX. This was her home until her final days.
Ruthie is proceeded in death by her mother – Dorothy, sister – Doris, son – David II., father – James Goff, granddaughter – Solicia Swearingen and great-grandson – Emmitt Miller.
She is now the guardian angel of the following surviving loved ones: loving and devoted prince – David Miller, her sons – Kenny Miller & wife Traci, Tony Miller & wife Rhonda, her daughter – Amaris Cunningham & husband Scott, her brothers – James Goff, Calvin Goff & wife Jennifer, and Terry Goff. She has 7 amazing grandchildren – Nathan Miller & wife Lacey, Sheridyn Olson & husband David, Blake Miller and wife Becca, Erika Spears & husband Blaiz, Hailey Morrison & husband Caleb, Sydney Boudoin & boyfriend Cody Guidry, Alaina Reedy & soon to be husband Logan Wright. She has left a beautiful legacy to her precious great-grandchildren: Emma Miller, Cade Guidry, Braxton Boudoin, Coby Guidry, Sterling Morrison, Lane Miller, Remingtyn “Remi Kay” Morrison, Kori Guidry, Everly Miller & Parker Olson.

Ms. Ruthie was so precious and I loved her dearly. Out of the blue including in recent years she would sent me loving messages of encouragement and love with Bible Scriptures. I know she is singing with the rest of the angels watching over us.
Ruthie was a walking testimony of the sweet, forgiving, eternal love of Jesus. Her smile and cheerful greeting could bring glorious sunshine to any grey day. You always knew who she lived for and adored (Jesus). She will be greatly missed.
Ruthie is way ahead of most of those who arrived at heavens gate before her, but she would never admit it. I know she’s already teaching how to speak softly with loving, encouraging words to everyone she meets. I’m pretty sure she has already sang with the angels and those who preceeded her. She has reunited with her dear family. Most of all, I know Jesus welcomed her home with loving arms!
My love and prayers to all of the family for your great loss.
Prayers for this wonderful family.
May God give peace and comfort in this time of loss.
Sweet Ruthie. Precious lady and woman of God. Always a smile on her face. May God’s peace and comfort surround your family during your time of grief. She is waiting on the other side singing with the angels.
Ruthie was such a sweet lady. I remember her and David when I worked in the Credit Union. She was truly a Godley woman. Love and prayers for David and the family. 💕🙏🙏🙏
What a beautiful lady! She encouraged me to broaden my piano playing and even shared some of her music along with many sweet stories. A true woman of God! I’m so sorry for the family’s loss!
My thoughts and prayers to David, kids and family. Ruthie always made me feel loved. Her love for the Lord was beyond measure. Her work for the Lord was complete and the time came for her to return to her Lord & Saviour. RIP Ruthie
