Obituary – Dr. Milton “Alan” Miller
Monday, July 13, 2026
Dr. Milton “Alan” Miller, age 87, of Murfreesboro, TN passed away July 13, 2026 in his home and was welcomed by his Savior Jesus into heaven. He was born in Etowah, TN to the late Cecil and Vivian Plumlee Miller. Alan and his wife were among those who founded Believers’ Chapel in Murfreesboro on February 14, 1979. His favorite Bible passage was Matthew 7:13-14, since it was these verses that pointed him to the way of his Savior. Alan retired in 2002 from a 30-year career as a university professor at both Middle Tennessee State University and Tennessee State University. He spent his retirement travelling extensively to other countries around the world.
Alan is survived by his wife of 65 years, Eleanor “Toodie” Miller; children, Monty Miller (Kim Bailey), Stuart Miller, Amy Schachtschneider (Kris), and Abby Douglass (Jon); six grandchildren; two great grandchildren; sister-in-law, Brenda Miller; brother-in-law, Jerry Howell (Peggy); and brother, Jere Miller (Linda). In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Ray Miller. His relatives and friends celebrate his life and example and will miss him greatly.
In lieu of flowers, donations be made to Believers’ Chapel, 1820 S. Rutherford Blvd, Murfreesboro, TN 37130 in memory of Alan.
Visitation with the family will be Wednesday, July 15, 2026 from 10:00am until 12:00noon at Woodfin Memorial Chapel. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, July 15, 2026 at 12:00noon at Woodfin Memorial Chapel. Burial will follow at Evergreen Cemetery.
