Sarah Gregorie Miller, 88, entered into eternal rest Thursday, October 29, 2020. Sarah was born May 4, 1932 in Charleston, South Carolina, to Esther Royall Gregorie and Ferdinand Gregorie. She grew up at her beloved Oakland Plantation roaming through fields, forests and marshes with her five siblings and cousins.
Sarah was a 1950 graduate of Moultrie High School and a 1954 graduate of the University of South Carolina with a double major in French and English. There, she made many lifelong friends through Tri Delta sorority. After graduating, Sarah worked as a chemical analyst at Westvaco where she met her future husband, Charles Edward Miller, Jr., while participating in a lunchtime bridge group. Sarah and Charlie both enjoyed playing bridge for many years.
Sarah was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. She often showed her love and affection for others through food. She thrived when hosting a large family gathering at home and serving others through the Tea Room ministry at church. She was a dedicated lifelong member of Christ Church Anglican, Mt. Pleasant. She also was a member of the Junior League of Charleston and The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America (South Carolina).
