Memorials held across Grand Strand to remember Myrtle Beach woman amid death investigation

HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — Hundreds of people on Sunday paid tribute to a Myrtle Beach woman whose body was found last week at Lumber River State Park in Robeson County.

Mica Miller, 30, originally of Wichita, Kan., died April 27, according to her obituary. Her husband John-Paul is pastor of Solid Rock Church in Market Common.

Authorities told News13 last week they’re investigating circumstances behind Miller’s death, but so far have declined to offer any more details.

A morning “Justice for Mica” rally at the church drew more than 100 people. She was active in the church, running its women’s ministry, helping with its graphic design and heading up worship sessions, according to her obituary.

“I came out today to support her, to support her family, to support her story,” said Melissa Snyder. “Because her story is important, and it needs to be told.”

Don Sites, who also attended the morning event, recalled Miller for her warmth.

“I remember one time, just passing by saying ‘hi,’ and she had the biggest smile on her face saying ‘hi’ back,” he said.

Later Sunday, a 3 p.m. beach memorial was planned at 91 S. Ocean Blvd. in North Myrtle Beach, hosted by members of her family. Solid Rock is conducting a celebration of life at the same time, according to Miller’s obituary.

Solid Rock’s official website has been suspended.
