Angie Miller

A woman of great value is a woman who values life. 

Angie Miller, a mom, daughter, grandma, a loyal friend, a neighbor and a military veteran who served as an MP and cook during the Iraq war,   Angie is an animal lover who lived across the road from us for almost three years. She built a condo for her beloved horse "Guapo" and delighted in the rural landscape of San Nicolas de Ibarra. Her passion for making the best out of every situation is to be admired. Her character grew strong in the soil of experience. She faced the terrifying reality of war and has managed unimaginable hardships. The war caused PTSD and God provided a safe place for her to meet His peace on the raw banks of Lake Chapala. Her grateful landlord Nicolas allowed her to experience nature at its very finest. Within the canvas in which she lived, Angie was able to assist in the birthing and naming of several thoroughbred horses. In 2021 she was ambulanced to a hospital to have one kidney removed and woke up alone in a dark room. Her PTSD kicked in and she remembers being tied down to a bed with tubes and unable to move. It was a nightmare that most us will never truly fathom. After two months of doctor visits in the USA and dialysis, Angie was happy to return to her personal ponderosa in San Nicolas. Within a few days she got the hard news that it was necessary for her to return to the USA for ongoing dialysis. After that devastating email, she gave herself a day to recoup, then she made a list of what needed to be done. God flung open the doors and within a day her Jeep was traded for an economical car to drive back to the USA. With ferocious determination she sold her furnishings at a fire sale Bazaar the following week. The American Legion hauled away all that was not sold to raise money at its annual "Garage Sale". Her health battle is all uphill, but Angie hopes to enter a Veterans Treatment Facility for some trial drugs. With the help of God Almighty, the funds also became available to transport Guapo back to Kansas where she will live with her daughter Monique on a chicken ranch.
