These Hands

These hands, what do they mean? These are the hands of a

woman that labored to provide. These are the hands of a

woman that nurtured her family and community. These are

the hands that would prepare meals out of love for anyone

that wanted to eat. You may walk in the house hungry, but

you won’t leave that way. These are the hands of a woman

who taught us that “There is no shame in any work and if

it is worth doing it is worth doing right.” These are the

hands of a woman that taught us to listen when people

speak because “You can learn something from anyone, even

a baby.” These are the hands that pulled you in for a hug

that radiated love and comfort with no words necessary.

These are the hands of a woman that taught us to pray

and trust the Lord. In these hands I see strength, honor,

wisdom, compassion… In these hands I see you.

Elizabeth Miller, thank you for all that you did

with these hands.

~ Celebration of Life ~

Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson, was born to Corrine Anderson

(later known as Corrine Dempsey) and James Anderson in

Charlotte, North Carolina on May 14, 1923. Their union pro-

duced two children, Elizabeth and Margaret. The girls were

raised with their sister-in-love, Annie Carol Shivers.

As a spirited youth, Elizabeth attended St. Paul Baptist

Church in Orangeburg, South Carolina under Reverend

William M. Bowman, later to become a member in June 1945.

While residing in New York, Elizabeth was a member of

Gethsemane Baptist Church under Reverend Tony Chaneyfield.

In 1947 Elizabeth married Hampton Miller, Jr. From that

union they produced four children, Hampton, Ernest, Sandra

and Linda. Always a provider, Elizabeth moved to Brooklyn,

New York in pursuit of greater economic stability to support

her family in Orangeburg. In New York, Elizabeth worked as

a presser and did domestic work.

Elizabeth is survived by her daughter, Linda Shuler; grandchil-

dren: Tremayne Miller, Tony Miller, Shannon Lyn (Ian Lyn),

Tremonisha Davis, (Will Davis) and Sandra Miller (Rolando

Ifill); great-grandchildren: Toni Miller, Sayvon Miller, Nia

Lyn, Evan Miller, Natalie Lyn, Jayden Ifill, Raquan Ifill and

Josiah Davis and a host of cousins, nieces, and nephews.

A special thanks to longtime caregiver, Theresa Baylor (cousin),
