Elizabeth Ann (Hale) Miles, 85, went to be with the Lord Dec. 22, 2024. She was a resident of Springtown for 53 years.
Visitation is from 1-2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 27, at The Church at Azle. A funeral service will follow at 2 p.m., also at The Church at Azle. Interment will be in Springtown Cemetery.
Ann was born Oct. 5, 1939, to Nannie Lou and Wiley Ward Hale in Decatur.
Ann met the love of her life, Kelvin Charles Miles, when she was just 15 years old and he was 18. They fell in love and married three months later and have been inseparable since. They would have been married 70 years May 27, 2025.
Ann was very involved in church her whole life, taught Sunday school for many, many years and sang in the church choir. She was a member of The Church at Azle and before that Fundamental Baptist Church in Springtown for many years. She loved Jesus and was the shining example of a good and faithful servant. She not only loved God, but she loved her family so much and made sure we knew it.
She was the first one to sit with sick family members for nights on end and made sure they were cared for and loved. She was a mother figure and Meme to many people … she loved her family and was so proud of her babies. All of them. She loved them well and they loved her.
Elizabeth Ann has gained her heavenly reward for a life well lived. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Mom would always tell us to make precious memories and we have so many of her. We will continue to make precious memories knowing she’s keeping watch over us all.
