Terry Lawrence Miller

Terry Lawrence Miller, age 68, of Greensboro, Georgia passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 19, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Terry was born on March 27, 1956, to the late Charles E. Miller and Bettie Metts Miller in Clifton Springs, New York. He moved with his family at a young age to Covington, GA, in 1969, where he grew up. Terry was always a hard worker and an industrious young boy. He spent his teenage years riding his bicycle through the streets of Covington selling GRIT newspapers. He even bought his own merchandise by ordering a box of Sea Monkeys from the magazine. He also mowed most of his neighbor’s yards, always keeping busy. After graduating from high school, he attended the University of Georgia and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management. He then began a forty-two year long career at Kroger that he retired from in Centerville, Ohio. He was extremely appreciated by his coworkers and how he treated them at work. Terry was also a devout member of the Catholic Faith. In addition to working hard, Terry also knew how to play hard and have a good time. His favorite activities were being a loving husband, father, brother, and friend. Terry loved to dress for the occasion and was always dressing in costumes for the holidays. He loved to dance and was often the life of the party cutting up and telling jokes (often laughing at his own jokes). His favorite music was old school country. He could butcher any word in the English Language. The words and phrases were lovingly known as “Millerisms.” He was a sports fan and enjoyed UGA and Bengals football. Terry was also known for heading out to Big Lots and buying things that may come in handy one day. He liked to play a variety of games including trivia, air hockey and bowling. Terry loved to travel and always wanted to be the captain of his own ship. Some of his favorite places were the beach, visiting vineyards and underground micro-breweries. In recent years he had travels to Napa, France, New Zealand, Australia, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Holland. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by a son, Kyle Matthew Miller and a brother-in-law, Ray Mimes.
