Rebecca E. "Becky" Miller came into this world a fighter at 2 lbs., 10.5 oz in Missoula on Jan. 26, 1986. She joined brothers Michael and Joe who adored her from day one.

She went peacefully in her sleep Dec. 20, 2025, at Pioneer Medical Center in Big Timber. 

Due to her premature birth, she faced many challenges that didn't slow her down. She learned to walk without a walker by 3 years of age, climbed trees, rode horses, went down slides and anything and everything she wanted to do. Her greatest joy was time spent with Grandpa Harry. 

In Fall of 1998 she was no. 20 in the world diagnosed with a rare degenerative disease called Mitochondrial Encephalopathy Complex III with traces of IV.

Due to declining health, she spent the last 20 years at Pioneer Medical Center where she was spoiled by staff and many people in Big Timber. The family would like to thank the staff for their care of Becky over the years and the people of Big Timber for opening their hearts and their friendship to her.

Becky is survived by her mother, Kathy; her "sister prince" brother Joe, as she called him; niece Abigail; her special Aunt Audrey and Uncle Ed of Livingston; uncles Jon and Larry; cousins Matt, Erin, Ryan, Kelsey, Charlotte, Samatha, Brandie, Amberlea and Christian; aunts Leah, Jean, Kathy, Sheila, Susie and Debbie; uncles Jim, David, Steve, Gerry and Matt. Cousins: Jamie, Hagen, Dax, Shea, Matt, Nick, Chris, Emma, Jack, Josh, Hannah, Landon, Logan, Michaela, Wyatt and Zack.

Preceding her in death were her father, Mike, and brother Michael in 1995; her grandparents Harry and Rosemary Miller and Wayne and Pearl Grant; and her Aunt Teresa, Aunt Frances and Uncle Don.

A private family graveside service will be held at the Ronan Cemetery at a later date.
