Brenda Kay Miller Corley, 60, of 380 Packs Mountain Ridge Road, died July 31, 2015 at Greenville Memorial Hospital.
A native of Bellville, Ohio, daughter of the late Howard and Oma Lively Miller, she was of the Methodist faith.
Growing up in rural Ohio, Mrs. Corley was a daddy's girl, following her beloved father around their farm, helping with chores. Her favorite task was picking black raspberries and making preserves with her mother.
In South Carolina, Mrs. Corley enjoyed a peaceful life at the hilltop home she shared with her husband. The setting echoed her gentle nature, and she thoughtfully decorated the home with treasured antiques and family heirlooms.
She loved welcoming and entertaining guests and was especially fond of the mountain views her home provided.
A professional photographer at one time, Mrs. Corley enjoyed evening sunsets with her husband and cherished capturing these moments on film.
Surviving are her husband, Mark Randall Corley of the home; a daughter, Danielle Oakley (Keith) of Cardington, Ohio; two sisters, Betty Moore (John) of Stow, Ohio, and Carol Burnett of Lexington; and two grandchildren, Kayla Oakley and Gunner Oakley.
One sister, Shelby Jean Miller, predeceased Mrs. Corley. Mrs. Corley?s surviving sisters were young teenagers when she was born, and she was ?our doll baby,? Mrs. Moore recalled. ?We even dressed her in our doll clothes.?
A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
The family is at the home.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Lung Association, 2030 N. Church Place, Spartanburg, SC 29303.
