Vanessa Renee Miller, 58, of Winston Salem, NC, transitioned from earth into her eternal home on June 21, 2020 at 9:32 a.m. after a battle with the coronavirus. She was born in Pulaski, Virginia on May 12, 1962, and educated in Fort Chiswell, Virginia where she graduated from Fort Chiswell High School. She attended Rhema Bible College in Tulsa, Oklahoma where she received certification in Bible Studies. She recently attended Forsyth Community College in Winston-Salem, NC to pursue certification as an Office Manager and Executive Assistant .Like a warrior, Vanessa recovered from several health and life battles and decided that she should share her stories of victories to help others learn how to deal with hard times and come through those times stronger and better; therefore, she recently became a Credentialed Life Coach and Practical Trainer. She was a faithful church attendee and volunteer at St. Peter's World Outreach Center where she served on the Bereavement Committee and other services as needed. Vanessa was preceded in heavenly transitioning by her loving mother, Delilah Miller; paternal grandparents, Edna and William Miller; and maternal grandparents, Bishop R.K. and Mother Mildred Hash. She leaves to cherish her memory a loving family, her beautiful young adult daughter, Ariel Benton; her father, Alvin Miller; her brother, Reuben Miller (Gloria), and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Vanessa also leaves to cherish her memory her very best childhood friend, Mrs. Glenda Crockett-Evans. We will always remember and love our Vanessa, Renee, Nay Nay, Nessa. A private memorial service will be held Saturday, June 27, 2020 in the chapel of Douthit Funeral Services.
