Patricia (Patty) Thomas Miller

My husband used to say, “If I wasn't so bossy, I'd be perfect.” Well, I never made it that far, but I've had a wonderful fulfilling life, thanks to my awesome parents Armand and Ruby Thomas. 

I grew up riding and showing horses, watiressing at my parents' restaurant and modeling for various stores in and out of town. For 35 years I did interior design for Clark Learning and my best friend Robert Brain. I found my talent in oil painting late in my life. 

My husband Bruce who loved me as I loved him predeceased me in 2020. We shared 55 wonderful years together and were able to travel over a great part of our world. My dear son Ryan Thomas Miller who has given me my worst headaches, has also been a great help to me. I love him to death. He has also given me two beautiful granddaughters, Tessa and Daphne Miller, both of whom I am crazy about. I also cherish my beautiful artist niece, Stephanie St Thomas (Tom Scharlow) and my brother Craig Michael Thomas who has helped me so much. I truly thank him. 

I was fortunate to play bridge with the most fabulous women you could ever meet at the Salt Lake Country Club and the Cottonwood Club. I served as a board member with Utah Hogle Zoo and was a member of a women's group, ERDC (Education Resource Developement Council) connected with the University of Utah. 

I have been so lucky in this life, except for COPD (emphysema) from smoking in early life that got me. 

CIAO, my friends!
