Eva Marie (Kleckley) Miller, 86, of Crockett, passed away peacefully on October 11. She enjoyed a lifelong career in banking before retiring in her 60s. Her banking career began as a drive-through teller in Houston, where she made the news for being robbed at gunpoint in the 1960s. Undeterred, she stayed in the banking industry and went on to become a bank officer at Davy Crockett Savings & Loan in Crockett. While living in Crockett, Miller was a founding member of the Crockett Career Women Organization and an officer of the Crockett Chamber of Commerce. She moved to Trinity in 1997, where she continued working in banking and met and married Jack Miller. Her husband preceded her in death

“Eva will be remembered most for her quirky ways of always making you laugh even in a supposedly serious situation, her wry sense of humor and quick wit, which she never lost,” her obituary notes.

Eva is survived by her two daughters, Lou Ann Woolley Turner and husband, Larry of Crockett, and Malinda Woolley Shaver and wife, Sheree Gilbert of The Woodlands; granddaughter, Ashley Dailey Crabtree and husband, Josh; step-granddaughters, Kristi Turner Dowdy and husband, Ken and Amanda Turner Long; great-grandchildren, Keaton and Kamdyn Crabtree; step-great-grandchildren, Alyssa and Addison Dowdy and Rider and Charley Long; and numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends.

A celebration of life ceremony honoring Miller will be held at 2 p.m., November 23 at Larry Bruce Gardens, 3198 County Rd. 4600 in Kennard.
