Ann Miller, a long-time resident of Westmoreland who passed away during the tornado that struck the town on April 30, was a well-known figure in Pottawatomie County. She had worked at the health department for 28 years and was known as the welcoming face of the organization.
On May 14, the Pottawatomie County Health Department will be closed in honor of Miller’s memory. This decision was made by officials who want to give staff members the opportunity to attend her funeral and pay their respects. A link to her obituary has been provided on the health department’s Facebook page for those who wish to learn more about her life and contributions to the community.
The closure of the health department is part of a larger effort by Pottawatomie County officials to come together and support one another during this difficult time. They have expressed their condolences to Miller’s family and friends and encouraged others to join them in remembering her legacy.
In light of Miller’s passing, the health department will take a day off on May 14th, allowing staff members to mourn and pay their respects before resuming their regular services.
