When her health failed she made her home with her son, Edward Wilke, where she succumbed after four years of illness.

Of her brothers and sisters, nine preceded her in death. Two brothers survive, Conrad Miller, of Whitehall, Montana, and Leonard Miller of Wittenberg; besides 18 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.
