Late Tuesday evening, March 17, 2020, Alvin Miller- Alvie, 88 years of age, while she slept, silently moved away from her body embarking on her journey home to receive the promised gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Alvie was born on April 29, 1931 in Baker Florida, an unincorporated community in the Florida Panhandle, to Anna-belle Oates and Leroy Alvin Oates. Alvie was a member of the former Missionary Baptist Church that eventually merged into the United Missionary Baptist Church, since age 11 when she and her family moved to Ohio. The family resided on Eighteen Street for a number of years. She and her sister Eva attended Booker T Washington Elementary School.  In Middletown High School Alvie was the head majorette for the school band. Alvie’s participation in Church missionary work gave rise to her resolve to serve as a Church Deaconess.  Husband, for 62 years, Horace Miller preceded Alvie in death, on July 22, 2002.  Preceding Alvie as well are mother; Anna-belle Oates and father; Leroy Oates and sole sibling; sister, Eva Nell Dixon.
