Claudell worked 12 years for the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority until her retirement in 1998.  She loved all kinds of music especially ragtime, hymns, and gospel.  She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great- grandchild. Her eyes would light up and a smile would come to her face when her family was around.  She dabbled in oil painting, ceramic making, and owned a ceramic shop for a short time.  She enjoyed getting together with the ladies at the monthly Red Hat Club and just having fun.   

Claudell was preceded in death by her mother, Elnora (Gentry) Montgomery, her father Claude Wilmon, her step father Roy Montgomery, and her husband Carroll (Butch) Miller.  She is survived by her sons, Roy E. Miller and his wife Susie Miller of Chandler; David L. Miller and his husband Allen Brawner of Oklahoma City; Prince J. Sutterland of Chandler; three grandchildren Pamela Paterson, Jessica Miller, and Joshua Miller, great-granddaughter Macee Miller; and her brother, James Montgomery and his wife Denise of Chandler.
