Katherine LuElla (Rask) Chamberlain, 66 years of age, of Oxford, formerly of Glenvil Nebraska, passed away peacefully at her home with her family on September 5, 2025 after a brief illness. Kathy was born in Minden, Nebraska on August 17, 1959, the youngest of five children, born to Milton and Rosella (Wagnitz) Rask. She received her education from Oxford Public Schools and later completed her GED. She pursued higher education from Hastings Community College with a degree in Automotive Technology.

In April 1975, she was united in marriage to Scott Miller Sr, residing on the family farm with Jarvis & Maxine Miller. To this union, on January 19, 1976, they were blessed with a son, Scott Lee Miller Jr. and on August 9, 1977, Chad Allen Miller was born. Scott Sr and Kathy later divorced, but Kathy remained in Oxford for a few years.
