Cooper Review - Page 5A
Frank Henslee
Miller
Frank Henslee Miller was
bom June 14, 1952, Dallas,
Texas and died April 27, 2013
in Paris, Texas. Growing up
in the Northeast Texas town of
Cooper, he spent his childhood
learning the strong work ethics
of his parents’generation. His
enduring love of people, ani-
mals, nature and the inter-rela-
tionship of God & the Universe
would go on to serve him well
throughout his adult life.
After graduating from Cooper
High School, he attended The
University of Texas where he
received a B.B.A in Business
Administration. Upon gradua-
tion, he returned home to Coo-
per, Texas, so he could begin
working in the family busi-
nesses.
Throughout his life, he was
invested in all aspects of The
Boy Scouts of America, begin-
ning with Cub Scouts and con-
tinuing onto his service with
the board. The importance of
the principles and traditions
that scouting imparts upon a
young man, which he experi-
enced in his own life, were val-
ues instilled by The Boy Scouts
of America. Over the years he
spent countless hours volun-
teering for the NETSEO Trails
Council. Camp Dierks ben-
efited from his efforts in further
developing the facility enjoyed
by so many. As a result of his
continued service, he was hon-
ored with the “Silver Beaver”
award.
Frank was associated with
various businesses, including
The Delta Bank, The First Na-
tional Bank of Cooper, Cooper
Propane, Delta Logistics, and
Red River Transport. He truly
loved the people that he worked
with and tried to foster an envi-
ronment of cooperation for the
purpose of reflecting values
such as self-respect, determi-
nation, and loyalty to others,
which were values he strongly
believed in himself. Frank in-
stilled these principles at his
workplace so that those he
worked with would know they
could count on him like family.
As an original Texan, his word
was bond and his handshake
was contract.
Frank enjoyed a lifetime pas-
sion with animal husbandry,
most specifically Brahman cat-
tle. As a child he showed cattle
for the FFA 4-H, and in his
adult-life he showed his “dar-
lings” to anyone that happened
to be at his house. This often
included a lazy, unnerving ride
around the pasture on his favor-
ite bull, Wooly Bully.
He found solace in the years
of hard work put into develop-
ing the land that that he lived
on and loved. Every evening
he could be found there with
a tool in his hand enjoying the
squawking of his gaggle of
geese in the background.
As a lifelong member of the
Methodist church, initially in
Cooper, he later served in a
multitude capacities at the First
United Methodist Church of
Paris, Texas.
He is preceded in death by his
mother & father, Quentin and
Catherine Miller, of Cooper.
He is survived by his beloved
wife, Stacy, and children,
Quentin Stevens Miller and
wife Preeyalak, of Nederland,
Colorado, Atticus Franklin
Miller, Chase Nation, and Jessi-
ca Holtman and husband Gary,
all of Paris. Also surviving are
sisters Judy Falls and husband
Sam, of Cooper, and Jan Phil-
lips, of Houston.
The family invites you to join
them in remembering his life
on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 6
p.m. at The Fry-Gibbs Funeral
Home located at 730 Clarks-
ville Street Paris, Texas 75460

Delta Funeral Home Chapel in
Cooper, Texas. Interment fol-
lowed in the Oaklawn Cem-
etery.

by Goforth Laboratory in Dal-

doctors in McKinney, Frisco,
Celina, Prosper and Allen, Tex-

for the Department of Energy.
She was trained at Fort Sim-
mons Medical Center in Colo-

Mary to test for nerve gas or
any other chemical agents. For
such a place this was a beautiful
heaven to her and on many days
Mary played golf on the nine

1996 a hole in one played by
Mary on a team from the De-
partment of Energy where they
won second place.
Mary lived in Mansfield, Tex-

friends and lived there until the
time of her death.

ter Stephanie Allman ofWhites-
boro, Texas, a son Matt Hight
of Mansfield, Texas, three
grandchildren Sara Allman and
Hayden Allman of Whitesboro,
and Mattison Hight of Mans-
