Obituary

In the early morning hours of October 5, 2019, a spiritual giant took his last breath and stepped

into eternity. Glen Colin Miller began his earthly sojourn on March 20, 1945 as the third child

and first son of Glen E and Vivian Seibold Miller.


Glen was born in Salt Lake City and raised in Bountiful, Utah. During his school years, he

worked at the Bountiful Motor View and Slim Olson’s Gas Station. Glen loved cars and built a

few himself - winning third place in the 1978 Concours d’ Elegance for his Shelby Mustang.

After graduating from Bountiful High School, he attended Brigham Young University and served

in the Central States Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. While serving

in the Hawk Missile Division of the United States Army, Glen earned a National Defense Service

Medal as a sharp shooter. He later served several years in the Utah Army Reserve.


On July 28, 1967, Glen married the love of his life, Wanda Fae Miller, in the Salt Lake Temple for

time and all eternity. They welcomed six beautiful children into their home and shared 52 years

of fun and adventure mingled with struggle and triumph! Glen was an avid skier - snow and

water! Boating was his passion! He loved nothing more than being on Lake Powell with his

family around him. He was a wonderful husband and magnificent father who literally gave his

life for his family! Serving for over 31 years as a Temple Ordinance Worker, Glen taught his

children to love the Lord, work hard, and find joy in living. He loved his career in the flower

industry - operating Sea View Nursery in Santa Barbara, California until moving to Cedar City,

where he continued working with his brothers at Milgro Nursery in New Castle.


Glen was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters Glendala and Cynthia (Ron) Haertel; and

his brother Ted (Valorie) Miller. He is survived by his beloved wife, Wanda; his daughter, Misty

(Russell) Reber; his sons, Glen Jr (Alexandra); Spencer (Natalie); Nathan (Mary Lynne); Daniel

(Tasha); and Matthew (Stacy); 21 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren; 3 brothers Gary(Farrelyn) Miller, Barry (Karen) Miller, Dan (Ruth) Miller and one sister Susan Muir.


Funeral services will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, October 11th in the Heritage Park Ward -

290 West 1045 North, Cedar City, Utah. Viewing will be just prior to the funeral from 10 a.m. to

12 noon. Interment will be at the Cedar City Cemetery under the direction of Affordable

Funeral Services, 2002 North Main Street, Cedar City, Utah (435-586-3456).


The family wishes to thank the IHC Hospice Team for their loving care of Glen, especially Dr.

Todd Garrett, Fae Lyn Kartchner, Becky Solomon, and Craig Hanson.
