David Groff Miller

David Groff Miller, 95, formerly of Elizabethtown, entered into his eternal rest on Wednesday, July 1, 2026. Born in Lancaster and raised in Manheim, he was the son of the late Andrew and Nora (Groff) Miller. He was the husband of Fern (Nissley) Miller to whom he was married for 64 years until her passing in 2020.

He was a long time devoted member of Good’s Mennonite Church in Bainbridge, PA. He was a person of deep faith who took many opportunities to share his faith with others. His life’s work was as a dairy and poultry farmer on the family farm near Elizabethtown. He enjoyed working on the farm, particularly the poultry house, in later years, and continued working into his mid 80’s. It came as a disappointment to him, when he could no longer continue working due to limited mobility. His interest in the farm continued until the time of his passing. David was an avid gardener. He enjoyed growing strawberries, watermelons, pumpkins among other things. He blessed his family and friends with what was grown.

He is survived by one daughter, Lois Glick (John) of Gordonville; two sons, Paul Miller (Karen) of Elizabethtown and Mark Miller (Mary) of Elizabethtown; 11 grandchildren, Natasha Miller (Andrew) of Hershey, Julie Hoffer (Ren) of Elizabethtown, Bryan Miller (Kim) of Manheim, Jeffrey Miller (Paige) of Marysville, OH, Joshua Glick (Cheri) of New Holland, Sheila Glick of Gordonville, Jonathan Glick of Denver, CO, Korina Heistand (Jon) of Elizabethtown, Darin Miller (Kelly) of Mount Joy, Bethany Rittenhouse (Jeremy) of Lancaster, and Christina Miller of Mount Joy; 22 great-grandchildren; two brothers, Andrew Miller (Naomi) of Manheim and Daniel Miller (Joyce) of Lebanon. He was preceded in death by his brother, John Miller; sister-in-law Ethel Miller; sister Ruth Anna Reitz; and brother-in-law, Elvin Reitz; along with his wife and parents.

The family would like to thank the caring staff of Trillium Place for the care he received in his final years.
