Stonacek Funeral Chapel in Norfolk is in charge of the arrangements. Precy Miclat Payumo was born in San Agustin Iba Zambales, Philippines, on January 1, 1945, to Jorge Payumo and Maria Del Rosario (Miclat) Payumo. Precy began her adventurous life in the back of a two-wheeled cart, as her parents were running from Japanese soldiers invading the Philippines. Precy was one of eleven siblings. Precy’s mother passed away when she was 10 years old with her father passing eight years later. In 1968, she met Dallas Miller, whose ship was docked in Subic Bay in Manila, Philippines while serving in the Navy. They married on 09/20/1969. Precy, and her oldest daughter, Helen, joined Dallas in the U.S. on July 27,1970 and obtained their U.S. citizenship six years later in July 1976. Precy and Dallas were blessed with four children, Helen (Kent) Bernbeck of Estes Park, CO; April (Reggie) Alder of Stanton, NE; Richard Miller (deceased); and Joseph (Peggy) Miller of Norfolk, NE. They were once again blessed when they were presented with the opportunity to raise Richard’s oldest daughter, Brittnee (Schyler) Schenk of Ainsworth, NE. Precy was essential in building the Filipino community in Northeast Nebraska and worked tirelessly to help her brother, Alfonso Payumo and family, relocate to the U.S. Precy loved participating in all Filipino gatherings, where there would be hours of food, dancing, singing, and conversing. She worked diligently to improve the lives of many friends and family, both in the Philippines and in the U.S. Precy was a longtime member of Young Modern Extension Club, Red Hat Society, Fremont’s quilting club, along with many other organizations over the years. She was well-known in Stanton for her seamstress skills and owned and operated Sew-n-Stuff for several years. She was an active member of New England Congregational Church of nearly 50 years. She taught Sunday School, volunteered countless hours, and was an integral part of encouraging her church family. Precy had a great love of fishing and often spent hours, sometimes days with her fishing pole in the water. She shared her love of fishing with her children and would take them on early morning fishing trips before the sun would rise. Gardening was another great love of Precy’s, where she would regularly spend all day outside planting, weeding, and growing flowers and vegetables to share with family and friends. Precy also loved to travel, visit, and cook for others. At mealtime, she could always be found holding a baby so the parents could eat first. Although Precy had many loves, her love for God, family, and friends was her greatest love of all. Precy is survived by her loving husband, Dallas; two daughters and one son; daughter-in-law, Cyndi Miller of Duncan, OK; 15 grandchildren; and 17 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Alfonso (Erlinda) Payumo of San Diego, CA; sister Florencia Coloma Payumo of the Philippines; sisters-in-law Cheryl (Lyle) Husmann of Pilger, NE and Linda (Ron) Grace of Fallbrook, CA; and brother-in-law Ray Larson, of Bastrop, TX; CA; and countless other family members. Precy was preceded in death by her beloved son, Richard; parents; nine siblings; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Reinhold and Ileen Miller; sister-in-law, Lynette Larson; along with several other family members and friends. In-lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the family for later use.
