Grace Elizabeth Miller's Obituary
On June 16, 2026, at St. Joseph’s Hospital Tampa, Grace Elizabeth Miller, gained her angel wings after twenty-one years of a beautiful life. Born on June 28, 2004, in St. Petersburg, Florida, Grace spent her life shining her light on all those around her. Her joy and light were palpable and spread far and wide. Her smiles and giggles were contagious and she had a way to always make anyone around her feel better with just a smile.
Grace was not dealt an easy hand in life. She was born at 34.5 weeks with two holes in her heart and an extremely rare chromosome disorder. She fought countless battles in the hospital and endured many operations. Throughout her medical struggles, she was a beacon of joy. A lighthouse…she shined brightly for all to see God’s joy, peace, and grace. She was loved deeply and meticulously cared for by her family, incredible home health nurses, friends and an amazing team of doctors, nurses, and hospital staff.
Grace could always be seen wearing princess tiaras, colorful hairbows, pink being her favorite and her signature sparkly shoes. She loved going to Disney World, the aquarium, and riding along in the golf cart with mommy and daddy.
She attended Connerton Elementary School, then transitioned into the hospital/homebound program through Pasco County Schools, having graduated with honors from Wiregrass Ranch High School in 2022 (math being her least favorite subject).
Grace is survived by her mother, Pari; her father, Trever; her brother, Tyler; and her sister, McKenzie.
Grace was a truly special little girl. She had the purest soul and lived her life to the fullest with what she had. Her impact will last for many lifetimes. Above all her greatest impact on the world will be that she was able to teach everyone she encountered, the value of perseverance, resilience, positivity and unconditional love without ever saying a word. It takes a truly remarkable person to be able to spread those lessons and wisdom with just a smile and laughter.
