Gayle Lynn Miller

Gayle Lynn Miller, a beacon of love and compassion, passed away on November 19, 2025, in Louisville, Kentucky, at the age of 73. Born on May 24, 1952, in St. Louis, Missouri, Gayle dedicated almost fifty years of her life to the healthcare field, providing care and kindness to countless individuals at both Frazier Rehab and Jewish Hospital. Her commitment to supporting others extended beyond her professional career; she later contributed her warmth and spirit to the community while working at Dixie Bowl and Ken Bowl.

A true caregiver at heart, Gayle was not only an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, but also a cherished friend to many. Her caring nature was evident in every aspect of her life, as she consistently sought to bring people together. She loved spending time with her family, creating joyous memories during family gatherings. Her kitchen was the heart of these moments, where she poured her talents into cooking, sharing her delightful creations with those she loved.

Gayle's generous spirit was equally matched by her passion for volunteering. She wholeheartedly engaged with her community, offering her time and efforts at both Candy for Caring and Incarnation Catholic Church. She also found joy in the simple pleasures of life, often spending quiet moments on her patio, building Lego sets, swimming in her pool, bowling, and playing golf. A lover of nature, she nurtured her plants and flowers with a gentle touch, and her fur babies received endless love from her caring hands. A true sports enthusiast, she was the University of Louisville's biggest fan, making it a point to attend every game she could.

Gayle is survived by her beloved husband of 23 years, Kenneth Wayne Miller Sr., and her dear lifelong best friend, Donna Walthall. Her loving legacy continues through her children: Kathy Jo (Danny) Brewer and their children Ronnie, Jessica and Trinity, Cynthia Marie (Chris) Davis, and their son Christian, Julia Lynn (James) Breeden and their children Christopher, Brandon, Elizabeth and LJ, and Kimberly Rose (Don) Seebold and their children Emily, Brooke, Amber, Devin, Austin and Katelynn, Kenneth Wayne (Amanda) Miller Jr. and their children, Sam and Drew. They, along with her 23 cherished great grandchildren, nephew, Michael Shepard and niece, Julie Jackson will carry on the love and memories she shared with them.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ronald and Joan Mann, and her sisters, Lori Ann Mann and Susan Michelle Shepard. Gayle will be deeply missed by her family and friends, who will remember her for her unwavering dedication to those around her and the profound joy she brought into their lives.

A memorial gathering for Gayle Lynn Miller will be held on Friday, November 28th from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Newcomer Funeral Home, Southwest Louisville, located at 10304 Dixie Hwy, Louisville, KY 40272. A celebration of life mass honoring her will take place on Saturday, November 29th at 11:15 AM at Incarnation Catholic Church, 2229 Lower Hunters Trace, Louisville, KY 40216.
