Norma Jean, known as Mac to all who knew her, was a retired Medical Technologist from Savoy Medical Center and Moosa Memorial Hospital. She was a passionate supporter of Louisianas cultural causes and was known by all for her joie de vivre. She was an avid sportswoman and was as comfortable holding a rifle and fishing pole as she was boiling a pot of crawfish. She loved Cajun music and had a gift for playing the washboard. She could often be coaxed into stepping onstage to play with the band for a song or two. Mac served for many years in the promotion of many local and regional endeavors. Some of the causes and organizations she served include St. Edmunds School, St. Landry Parish Farm Bureau, State of Louisiana Crawfish Advisory Committee, St. Landry Parish Cattlemens Womens Auxiliary, was an elected representative for the Farm Bureaus Aquaculture Commodity, Advisory Committee, LA Farm Services, Agency Board for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and LA State FSA Committee. But most of all she had a love for her family which includes her husband of 59 years, Robert H. Bobby Miller of Eunice and her five children, Robert H. Robby Miller, Jr. of Eunice, Jeanie Miller Robinson of West Monroe, Matt Miller and wife, Debbie of Eunice, Mary Miller Hebert and husband, Jeffery of Baton Rouge and Monica Miller Salopek and husband, Steve of Lafayette her two brothers, Vernon and Ronnie McManus both of Eunice.
