Deena's obituary

Deena Marie Miller, 65 entered into Eternal Life with her Savior Jesus Christ in Heaven, peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones on Sunday, August 22nd 2021.  Deena was born to William Allen Bortfeld and Shirley Agua Suganuma on June 13, 1956 in Delaware. Deena Marie Miller and Michael David Miller were united in marriage in March 1986 and just celebrated 35 years of marriage. Deena and Michael met in Hawaii during the early 1980s at Steamers in Haleiwa located on the north shore of Oahu. Deena gave birth to three sons, Christopher, Joshua, and Jacob.  She was devoted to her husband, her sons, and their families and delighted in spending time with them. In addition to being a dedicated and loving wife/mother/grandma/sister/daughter above all else, a dedicated Christian. Deena Miller worked as a Escrow officer for over 30 years, retiring in 2010 at 55 years old. Deena was a committed follower of Jesus Christ.  She held an unwavering faith in God, which she shared with those who surrounded her and friends all over the world. In her free time she enjoyed lunches  with her sisters/family, shopping with Zairee, connecting with fellow believers online via Facebook , and especially enjoying her time with all her grandchildren and watching them grow. Deena was an incredibly strong Godly woman with a huge heart. She left a legacy to her family of God’s amazing love and grace, and was example to all who knew her. We look forward to the day we will be reunited in Heaven.

 Deena was preceded in death by her parents William "Bill" and Shirley, and grandson Hezekiah (Joshua's first born).
