Charles Glossauer Miller, 83, passed peacefully into eternity on Saturday, January 6, 2024 surrounded in his last hours of life by his family - the people he loved most in the world. He was born in Provo, UT to Charles Dresden and Olga Komarkova Miller. He married Diane Leavitt on August 23, 1965 in Salt Lakc City.
He was raised in Salt Lake City where he attended East High School and where he gained the admiration of his fellow classmates as an All-State first baseman. He graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in History and a minor in Biological Sciences. He served a mission in Austria for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1960-63 and also served as a medic in the Utah National Guard.
Charlie and Diane raised their three children in Salt Lake City and later in St. George, UT. He was a teacher, a real estate broker and appraiser, but teaching was his favorite, especially at Millcreek High School. He was very successful in everything he did. He was the #1 Dodger fan and enjoyed playing in various baseball and softball leagues throughout his adult life. His hobbies included restoring antique furniture and traveling, which he particularly loved to do with his wife alongside. His favorite places in the world included Austria and Prague where his mother was raised. He also loved playing games with his children and grandchildren.
Charles is survived by his wife, Diane who lives in St. George; his son Matthew Miller (Hollie) from St. George; his daughter Valerie Warner (Gill) from Tulsa, OK; and his daughter Marianne Huntsman (James) from SLC. He was beloved by 19 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. He is survived by his siblings Richard H. Miller (Sherry) of SLC and Annetta Link of California. He is preceded in death by his mother, father and sister Ruth.
This longtime member of the Bloomington 7th Ward was a favorite among members of every age and will be missed by all.
