Christy "Chris" Lambesis Miller

Christy “Chris” Lambesis Miller of Noblesville passed away at Riverview Hospital on Sunday, November 8, 2026, surrounded by her family following a brief illness.

Born to James and Maxine Lambesis on September 14, 1953, Chris grew up in Frankton, Indiana, surrounded by her close-knit extended Greek family and immersed in the family businesses, including her parents’ Lambesis Food Mart. Growing up in this environment, she learned the value of hard work, the importance of family, and the traditions that connected generations.

After returning to college as an adult, Chris earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education from Ball State University. Her dedication to education and her love of working with children shaped a rewarding career in which she touched the lives of countless students. She taught at Hamilton Heights Elementary School in Cicero and Our Lady of Grace Catholic School in Noblesville, leaving a lasting impression on the many students and families she encountered along the way.

Chris was always ready for an adventure with her cousin Teddi, preferably with a Coca-Cola in hand. A lifelong learner with a curious spirit, she loved to travel, was an avid reader, and enjoyed discovering new places and experiences. She also had a special place in her heart for animals and adored the many faithful canine companions she loved and cared for throughout her life.

Chris is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, George and Kim Murray of Frankton; her granddaughters, Kailyn Russell of Albany, Kentucky, and Janai Murray of Fishers; her brother and sister-in-law, George and Debbie Lambesis of Middletown; her husband, Mike Miller, and his children and grandchildren; and many beloved cousins, niece, nephew, and great-grandchildren.

Chris maintained a special bond with the Murray family of Frankton, who remained dear to her throughout her life. She held a particularly fond place in her heart for the grandparents of her son the late Gene and Irma Jean Murray.

Private family services will be held, with a memorial celebration at a later date.
