Betty took cello lessons and played in the Hall Trio. Betty Hall married J. Austin Miller in 1943 and worked at Allison's in Indianapolis during World War II, testing airplane engines.

Services were August 4 at St. Matthew's Catholic Church in Kalispell, Montana for Betty Jane Miller, age 68, who died August 3, at Brendan House, following two decades of illness with Parkinson's disease. Cremation followed. Arrangements were by the Weatherford Funeral Home, there. The family suggests memorials to the National Parkinson's Foundation in care of the United Way of Flathead County, Kalispell, Montana.

Born Oct. 13, 1920, she was a daughter of Oscar and Ruth Hall and the oldest of five children, growing up in Lizton. She attended schools in Lizton and attended college at Indiana State University.

Her primary interest throughout life was music. An accomplished professional cellist, she played with several Midwestern symphonies including those in Des Moines, Iowa and Indianapolis.

She was involved with a variety of businesses. She operated a beauty salon in Lizton as her first job, and later worked in Chicago during the years of World War II.

In 1943, she married J. Austin Miller in North Carolina. The couple lived in Chicago, Missoula and Arizona before settling in Kalispell in the late 1940's. Later, she worked in her husband's accounting practice in Kalispell. Mr. Miller died in 1987.

Her illness began in the mid-1960's and she had been in the care of nursing homes since 1978. She lived in the Madison County Nursing Home, Ennis, from 1978 to 1985, when she moved to Brendan House.
