LaVerne June Miller was born November 24th, 1945, in Columbus, Ohio to Robert H. Goins and Grace L. (Wade) Goins. She went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday June 8th, 2022, at her home. LaVerne attended Columbus Public Schools- Central High School. She received her GED in 2001. She attended Columbus State College to become a Parole Officer. LaVerne was employed by Sears Roebuck and Company, earning top salesperson. She was forced to retire due to health issues. LaVerne was the last of Grace and Robert 13 children to earn her wings.
From early childhood LaVerne attended Sunday School and church here at the Church of Christ of the Apostolic Faith. She was baptized and filled the Holy Ghost. She went on to teach Sunday School and Children’s church, cook for Vacation Bible School and was a driver of the Church vans. LaVerne would hold bible study in her home. She loved to spread the Gospel of Jesus to anyone that would listen. Jehovah Witness was no match for her by the time they left, most would be converted.
In Laverne’s spare time, she was an avid reader, Bible Thumper, crossword, and word search puzzle specialist. She loved fishing, camping, picnics and spending time with her children, grand and great grandchildren, and her dog Bella. If you walked into LaVerne’s home, you would know she admired various figurines of church members, Angels, and black statuettes. Her favorite saying was, “Sit down, everybody seen you”. She was a wonderful daughter, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend. She will be loved and missed by all.

Miller; son, Alfred T, Goins; grandson, Alfred T, Haynes; granddaughter, Tiana Haynes; brother, Theodore Brown; and sisters, Janet Goolsby, Shirley Lovings, Phyllis Goins, Shardine Whitfield, Patricia Steele, and Norma Wilson.

To Vern and the Miller Family:
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Mom Miller on a few occasions. While we know she is in a better place; we also know the huge void she is leaving behind. I pray God’s comfort and strength during this difficult time. Love you and I am here for you.
Mom i am going to miss our talks and our Bible thumping. I know you were tired of that body and wanted to be set free. Now you have a body not built with man’s hands. God has set you free and who HE sets free is free indeed! I love you ❤️ and will always cherish our talks and fun times. I love you with all my heart!
Love you all sending Prayers May God comfort the Entire Family …. To be absent from the body is to present with the Lord
