Mary Hunt Miller of Red Springs died Friday, January 14, 2022, at NC State Veteran's Nursing Home in Fayetteville at the age of 83.

She was preceded in death by her husband Tracy Miller, her son-in-law Eddie Chavis, and her granddaughter Asia Locklear. She was a member of Mt. Elim Baptist Church and retired from USDA and the Hoke County Tax Office where she was highly recognized.

She also traveled to Puerto Rico to do some training.
