Ann Miller, a long-time resident of Westmoreland and a pillar in the Pottawatomie County community, tragically passed away during a tornado that struck the town on April 30. In honor of her memory and contributions to the community, the Pottawatomie County Health Department in Kansas will be closed next Tuesday.
The closure is an opportunity for Health Department staff to attend Miller’s funeral services and mourn the loss of their colleague and friend. According to a post on the Pottawatomie County, Kansas Facebook page, the closure is meant to pay respects to Miller and her impact on the community.
Miller was known as the welcoming face of the Health Department for 28 years, and her impact on the community is evident by the outpouring of support and condolences from residents and officials. An obituary for Miller is available for those who wish to pay their respects and learn more about her life.
During the closure, the Health Department will not be offering any services or appointments. Normal operations are expected to resume on Wednesday, May 15. The community is encouraged to join in honoring Miller’s memory and offering their support to her loved ones during this difficult time.
