Charlotte Pomeroy Miller, 88, of Thomasville, Georgia passed away on Wednesday, September 30 ^th after a brief illness.  Charlotte was born in Waycross, Georgia to Dr. and Mrs. William Loomis Pomeroy on February 27 ^th , 1932.  She graduated from Waycross High School and attended Shorter College in Rome, GA, where she received a bachelor of arts in biology in 1953.  That same year, she married her college sweetheart, Dr. Frank Richard Miller.  Upon his graduation from Emory University Medical School, Charlotte and her husband moved to Thomasville in 1964.  She was a long-time member of First Presbyterian Church, where she joined her husband as co-chair of the stewardship campaign and World Mission Conference.  Additionally, Charlotte was a member of a Circle women's Bible group.  A loving mother of four, she was also very active in her community, volunteering with the Archbold Women's Auxiliary for over 40 years as well as the Thomas County Food Bank, serving in the Thomasville Junior Service League, and giving her time as a docent at Pebble Hill Plantation.  Charlotte was a world traveler who visited over two dozen countries in her lifetime; she was also an avid reader and loved playing bridge with her dearest friends.  To those who knew and loved her, Charlotte was an remarkably kind, generous, and selfless individual who always put the needs of others before her own, and she will be so dearly missed. She is preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Dr. William Loomis Pomeroy, Jr., as well as her devoted husband of 43 years, and her son, Mr. Frank Richard Miller, Jr.  Survivors include her sister, Anne (Al) Asbury of Kingsport, TN, her daughters, Cayla (Tony) Richardson of Sugar Hill, GA and Margaret (Randy) Harvey of Ochlocknee, GA and her son, Russell Miller of Thomasville, GA, as well as her daughter-in-law, Alice Miller of Hattiesburg, MS.  Charlotte was also a most-loved "Memaw" to eight grandchildren: Nicole (Trey) Espy of Cumming, GA, Charlotte (Connar) Wilkerson of Smyrna, GA, Layton (Kristen) Harvey of Ochlocknee, GA, Madison (Zachary) Giddes of Albany, GA, Catherine Miller of Lenexa, KS, TJ Richardson of Nashville, TN, Anna Harvey of Ochlocknee, GA, and Bo Miller of Thomasville, GA.  Much to her delight, Charlotte's only and much-anticipated great-grandchild, Collins Dianne Espy, was born three months ago and brought her incredible joy during her final days.
