Dr. Mabrey L. Miller passed away at his home in York in the late evening hours, Sunday, January 18. Longtime member of the YC faculty and elder at the East Hill Church of Christ in York, "Doc" will be missed terribly by the college community.
He and Madge have been a part of the YC family for more than fifty years. Mabrey was among the first faculty members in 1956 when the college reopened. He would assume a number of duties through the years including teaching math, Dean of Students, Academic Dean, and Bible professor. Raising six children and serving the congregation at East Hill went hand in hand with his work on campus.
The 2005 academic year was dedicated to Madge and Mabrey for their Kingdom work and the 50 years of leadership they provided York College. Click here to read the tribute that was written at that time of their love for this place and its people.
Mabrey hired me for my first teaching and coaching job on a cold, late April night at Chances R Restaurant in York in 1985. After graduating from Newman University in December of 1984 he was recruiting me to come back to be a part of the faculty. It didn't take much pleading just a big bear hug from one of my all-time Heroes of Faith. Mabrey encouraged me to go into administration and always shared with me his insights on being a Christian leader. Mabrey, you will always be Mr. York College and your spirit will live on in the lives of hundreds of students you touched the past 50 years. Enjoy your eternal reward!
Funeral arrangements have been made for Saturday (Jan. 23) at 2:00 p.m. at the East Hill Church of Christ in York.
