Barbara Delores Miller
May 24, 1955 – December 27, 2023
Barbara Delores (Raap) Miller, age 68, passed away on Wednesday, December 27, 2023 at her home in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A memorial visitation will be held 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturday, December 30, 2023 at Miller Funeral Home – Westside Chapel (6200 W 41st, Sioux Falls, SD). Lunch will be available throughout the visitation.
Barb was born on May 24, 1955 to Duane and Donna (Engelson) Raap in Webster, South Dakota. She grew up on a farm near Bristol, where she attended most of her schooling before graduating from Lincoln High School in Sioux Falls. Barb worked a variety of cleaning and housekeeping roles before settling down to be a homemaker.
Kind and with a gentle soul, Barb was a wonderful mother to her sons, Allen and Robby. She was generous and always put others first. Barb never asked for much, and was content with the simple pleasures of spending time with those she loved, watching TV land, and maintaining her hobbies. Her home was filled to the brim with ceramics she had painted and other knick-knacks or trinkets. She was a master at almost any card game and would also frequently be found studying a word search puzzle in her free time. Barb was genuine, supportive, and caring. She will be missed immeasurably.
Grateful to have shared Barb’s life with her are her sons, Allen (Jessica) Miller and Robby (Andrea) Miller, both of Sioux Falls, SD; her grandsons, Logan and Austin Miller; her sister, Norma (Roland) DeWald of Sioux Falls, SD; her brother, Norman (Sandi) Raap of Roslyn, SD; and numerous extended family members and friends. Barb is preceded in death by her parents, Duane Raap and Donna Gries; her sister, Shirley Bruhn; and her brother-in-law, Gary Bruhn.
