R. W. “PeeWee” Miller, 91, passed away Friday, February 20, 2026, at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, MS. He was born September 12, 1934, to Odie and Annie Mae Ramage Miller. PeeWee served Carroll County for 38 years as Chief Deputy in the Sherriff’s office, until his retirement. Not one to slow down, he filled his time with fishing and riding his four wheeler around his property; as well as tinkering with any project he could get his hands on. His joy was found being outdoors. Mr. Miller was a member of Vaiden Baptist Church.
He is survived by his daughter, Clara Weeks (Jimmy) of Vaiden; sons, Dennis Dewayne Miller (Deborah) of Winona and Chester Allen Miller (Vicky) of Milton, FL; sister, Shirley Strahan of Kosciusko; eleven grandchildren; nineteen great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife, Agnes Lorene Armstrong Miller; his second wife, Bertha M. Cossey Miller; son, Jerry Dewayne Miller; sisters, Dorothy Grice and Maudie Oliphant; and brother, John W. Miller.

You were my father-in-law for over 54 years and we had some really good times when Dennis and I got married. I enjoyed going out to eat on Friday nights with you and Lorene. We (the 4 of us) spent a lot of time together playing spades and you would always win! You outbid everyone even when you had nothing to bid on. I have long since missed all the good times we had. You were one of a kind and I will miss you. Tell Lorene hello for me. RIP, Love in Christ, Love Deborah

Mrs. Clara, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that God continues to give you all strength to get through this difficult time.
