Ned A. Miller, 84, of Waite Boulevard, South Bend, Ind., passed away after a brief illness at 3 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 18, at the Healthwin Specialized Care Facility in South Bend. He was born on Aug. 21, 1915, in Harlan, Ind., to the late Frank and Frances (Cummins) Miller, and was preceded in death by two brothers and two sisters.

Ned was a World War II Army veteran, participating in the Battle of the Bulge with the 424th Infantry. He was the recipient of the Bronze Star Medal. Ned was an avid viewer of public television, so his family has asked that any memorial contributions be made to WNIT Television, Channel 34, 2300 Charger Boulevard, Elkhart, IN 46514.
