Carole Ree Miller Herzberg, age 82, passed away Wednesday, January 15th, 2020 in Tulsa, OK.
Carole was born May 24, 1937 in Pampa, Texas to Mr. and Mrs. Harold Miller. She had three siblings: sister, Pat Miller Hart; brother, Richard Miller; and half-brother, Mike Miller.
Carole met Jerry Herzberg when a friend set them up on a blind date. They were married on April 20th, 1957. The following year they welcomed their first daughter Heidi, followed by Linda, and son Wesley. They made their home in Enid, Oklahoma. Carole opened and operated the Hen House in Enid, where she taught needle point, tole painting, and other arts. She was a Girl Scouts troop leader and board member, active in the PTA, and Enid Junior League until moving to Tulsa in 1977.
After the loss of her daughter Linda in 1982, Carole became a volunteer in hospice care. She loved playing bridge, her luncheon group, decorating for every holiday, and spending time with her grandchildren. Carole and Jerry enjoyed travelling and saw much of the world together. People close to her will remember her generosity, quick wit, and her sense of fashion. Carole knew how to dress for every occasion; she enjoyed planning outfits and shopping with her caregiver and friend Dee Smith.
Carole, lovingly known as Mimi, is survived by her husband, Jerry of 62 years, children, Heidi (Kirby) Webb, Wesley (Kelly) Herzberg, and grandchildren Emily (Jeff) Webb-Phillips, Natalie (Shaun Bhow) Webb, Lindy Herzberg, and Connor Herzberg.
