Charles Wilfred Miller, 85, of Newport, passed away on Sunday, May 30, 2021, at Vidant Medical Center.

Charles was born on January 14, 1936, to the late Charles Miller and Frances Cooper. He was born in Steubenville, Ohio but grew up in Sebring, Ohio. Charles was a proud veteran of the United States Navy where he retired as a Petty Officer 1st Class after 20 years of honorable service. During his time in the Navy, he was a flight engineer on the P3A Orion. Following his military career, he served as the Deputy Director of Veteran Affairs for the State of Pennsylvania.

In 1997, he moved to Carteret County where he was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Morehead City and volunteered 11 years with Hope Mission. Charles loved to spend time in his yard gardening, he also enjoyed wood working. Charles was a big fan of country music so whatever he was doing you know he’d be listening to a good country tune. He was also a huge fan of the Oakland Raiders.
