On Tuesday, May 14th, the Pottawatomie County Health Department in Kansas will be closed to allow staff to attend the funeral of Ann Miller, a long-time resident of Westmoreland who passed away during the tornado that struck the town on April 30.
Miller was a beloved figure at the health department, known for her welcoming face and unwavering commitment to serving her community. She had worked at the organization for an impressive 28 years and was deeply respected by her colleagues and peers.
In a post on their Facebook page, officials from Pottawatomie County announced that they would be closing the health department in honor of Miller’s memory. A link to her obituary was provided for those who wished to learn more about her life and contributions to the community.
The closure of the health department is just one way that Pottawatomie County is coming together to support each other through this difficult time. Officials expressed their condolences to Miller’s family and friends and encouraged others to join them in remembering her legacy.
The health department will take a day off on May 14th to mourn and pay their respects before resuming their regular services. The closures are a fitting tribute to Miller’s many years of dedication and service to the community she loved so much.
