Gloria Fay Miller-Barr

Gloria Fay Miller-Barr, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on July 20, 2025, in West Texas at the age of 76. Born on February 24, 1949, in San Saba, Texas, to AC Miller and Golden Maudena Cole Miller. Gloria lived a life full of faith, family, and fierce love.

A woman of deep spiritual conviction and a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gloria was the steady rock her family leaned on. She had a strength that was felt by all who knew her—a strength grounded in love, honesty, and unwavering support.

She was preceded in death by her parents; Kenneth Barr (2001); and by her siblings, Billy Biggs, Jerry Biggs, and Michael Miller.

Gloria is survived by her loving children: Rhonda Taylor (Chad), Robert Barr (Jenni), Travis Barr, and Christopher Barr (Wendy). She is also survived by her devoted siblings: Allen Biggs (Sylvia), Donnie Miller (Cindy), Goldie Chandler (Tommy), Brenda Miller; sisters-in- law, JoAnne Biggs, Anne Biggs, and Donna Miller; as well as aunt, Jerri Hurst; cousins and friends that were like siblings, Pat McGehee Utterback, Joan Billings, and Freddy Brown; several nieces, nephews, and cousins; and her 1st love, Kenny Baker, with whom she reconnected with.

Gloria’s proudest accomplishments were found in her family. She is survived by her cherished grandchildren: Dustin Glaze, Tyler Glaze (Justine), Hannah McCarthy (Nate), Austin Barr, Evan Barr (Amanda), Dakota Barr, Ciera Bernal (Jullian), and Olivia Barr.

She was also blessed with seven beloved great-grandchildren: Channing Glaze, General Glaze, Kyson Glaze, Asher Glaze, Ayden Glaze, Charlie Barr, and Dallas Bernal—each of whom brought her immense joy and pride.

Gloria enjoyed working with family at the Miller Family Steakhouse. A successful college student and entrepreneur, Gloria owned two thriving businesses, but her heart was always with her family. She never missed a game, recital, or chance to be in the crowd cheering her loved ones on. She stood by them every step of the way—firm in her love, strong in her faith, and always ready with honest advice and open arms.

She was our anchor, our truth-teller, our spiritual compass, and our safe place. Her legacy of strength, loyalty, and love lives on in all who were lucky enough to know her.

Gloria's family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Singh with the McClinton Cancer Center of Waco, Dr. Stewart and Dr. Lui with Hillcrest Pulmonology, to Harbor Hospice, especially Maddison, Heather and Traci, to Jennifer Stinson, a dear friend of the family, and to her niece, Lisa Biggs-Fetsch for all her love and support. Special thanks to the Zapata family, the Mayfield family, and members of her church family who helped bring comfort to Gloria during her final days.

A memorial service celebrating Gloria’s life will be held at a later date.
