Our hearts and prayers go out to Ryan and the boys. A beautiful soul, loving wife and mother.

Cortney married Ryan Miller on December 15, 2018 in Hamilton. Ryan resides in Ashley.

She also helped run the business that she and Ryan owned together, Premier Fencing out of Ashley. She was a loving homemaker and dedicated mother and wife who enjoyed caring for her family, gardening, canning and raising animals.
