On the morning of June 24th 2019, Morgan Lynn Miller, 31 of East Helena, ended her life on this earth.
She was an amazing bright, loving, and gifted person. Morgan was a pharmacist, friend, daughter, sister, girlfriend, student, athlete, animal lover, liberal, reader, coach, music lover and cheerleader. She loved her family and she loved God. She was a gifted athlete in high school in soccer and track. Morgan was a ten year sexual assault survivor and she battled the accompanying mental illness as long as she could.
Morgan is survived by her sister Maria, brother Isaac, parents Marcia and Chris Miller, her boyfriend Monroe Mathis, her grandma Gwen Goodell, many aunts, uncles and cousins, friends, Daisy the dog and Dwight the cat.
Morgan was preceded in death by her grandpa Roy Goodell, grandma and grandpa Kay and Bob Miller, uncles Bruce Goodell and Kevin Miller.
Be kind to others and be nice to yourself. Keep those you love close in your heart. Give lots of hugs. Find things to laugh about every day. Say I love you a lot. Life is so short.
The family is having a small, private service. A larger gathering for friends will be held later this summer.
Instead of flowers, those wishing could donate to Helena Food Share, where Morgan volunteered. Please visit below to offer a condolence or share a memory of Morgan.

I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. I personally know the loss of a loved one, and the pain can seem overwhelming, especially with one so young and vibrant.

I didn’t personally know Morgan. My son was her college classmate at U of M. I can’t begin to know the deep sorrow her death brings to all who love her and the hole her absence leaves in your lives. Only God intimately knows the inner struggles we all face in this life. May God’s peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding surround and comfort each of you.

Sending love to her family and friends.
Lane Mathis says
Our son Monroe lost a beautiful woman he loved dearly and we lost a and angel we considered our daughter-in-law. I can’t imagine what it is like for Marcia, Chris, Maria, Isaac and their family, I only know the sadness we feel in losing Morgan. Morgan gave us so many blessings and gifts by being the kind and generous person she was. One person who worked with her said Morgan wanted to save the world and she did every day on this earth by her acts of kindness. We are so proud of our son Monroe for loving such a wonderful woman and we are even more proud of the man he became because of Morgan’s presence in his life. I can’t remember a time with Morgan I didn’t say “Don’t forget who loves you”! We will never forget Morgan and will remember her legacy by being kind and generous to others. I remember the saying “Pay it Forward” and at times I think the world has forgotten acts like these. I plan to remember Morgan and her legacy on this earth, by saying to everyone I help from this day forward “FOR MORGAN”!
Scott & Becky LaRoque says
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Morgan was a childhood classmate of our daughter Heather during their grade school/middle school years in East Helena. We remember Morgan fondly. She was a wonderful young lady.

Monroe, Chis, Marsha, Isaac, & Maria
From the looks of the posts, Morgan affected us all the same. Especially those she worked with:
My tribute
Forever 31
your mom told me you were missing
I just knew
The same way that I knew your eyes changed
From green to blue
It must have been extremely dark
The day you flew
I know you didn’t mean to destroy us
This was about you
What you didn’t realize was how special
You came to be
To those who raised you , loved you,
Me
I can’t put myself in your place
I can’t possibly see
Your pain, your anguish, the caged bird
You needed to free
I’m sorry life didn’t seem worth living
I have felt the same
The constant feeling there Is somewhere else
A safe place with no pain
I hope heaven is all you hoped for
If that is its name
I pray you have peace, quiet, love, tranquility
And they threw a party when you came
I don’t think you realized your ability to change us
Your ability to light up a room
I understand that type of light needed energy
Energy we were all too eager to consume
It’s much dimmer now that you’re gone
But I feel someone still basks in your glow,
lucky them
Ronny and Ann Mackaben says
Chris, Marcia, Maria and Isaac (and family): Our sincerest sympathy for your loss! God Bless all of you at this trying time. Prayers, Ronny and Ann Mackaben (and families)

I was blessed to have worked with Morgan. She talked about her family with love and shared her goals when she was interning.

I’m so sorry for your loss! Morgan was such a good person, smart, hardworking, kind. I met Morgan in Missoula, while I was at law school and Morgan was finishing her last semester of pharmacy school.

Fly high Morgan Miller
Morgan, it’s been a few years since I’ve lived and worked with you in Montana. You always had a smile on your face. You always had answers to my questions of all things pharmaceutical. You also had time to let me know what a new local should checkout in the town of Helena as far as hikes. Bless you, prayers for your family and friends. You did point out my accent was from the Dakotas right away. I will always remember that. God bless, Nurse Lisa

Marcia, Chris, family and friends – My heart breaks for you. I didn’t know Morgan, only around her a handful of times, but Marcia talked about her a lot. She was born on a good day, same as my birthday, and if my second son, born only 4 months after her had been a girl, I was going to name her Morgan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Bernadette Miller says
For all who know and love Morgan, know that doesn’t stop. Expand yours to others, as she did.
May our participation in that, comfort us and comfort Morgan. Aunt Bernadette

Judy Salisbury says
I don’t know if you will all see this or not, but I have to write my thoughts. After seeing Marcia today, I have thought of nothing else. Morgan was a beautiful soul. One of the highlights of my teaching in East Helena, and certainly a joy and ray of sunshine my first years here. I trust she is with Jesus now, and her soul cannot be tormented any longer. Know all of you that Morgan was special and did make such a difference in our world while she was here. Bless all of you. Enjoy the new little one that is on the way. Hearts and love to you all.
