  	"At 94, for reasons known only to herself, Carrie Miller, of Wynne, Arkansas, decided it was time to die. "She planned her passing in the meticulous, unflinching fashion for which she was known, even taking the time to leave a short note for her longtime housekeeper, Mabel. Her explanation was brief and to the point: You'll find me in my car, in the same place my husband was killed. Raymond Miller died in 1938. Carrie Miller never remarried. "When she finished writing the note, sometime during the afternoon of March 15, Miller left it on her kitchen table. She knew Mabel would find it there. "Then the elderly woman climbed into her 1999 Buick Century and headed down U.S. 64 toward the St. Francis Bay Bridge. She stopped briefly to ask a Highway and Transportation Department employee how to get to a specific boat ramp. She then drove her Buick directly and deliberately off that ramp and into a tributary of the St. Francis River. "As the current swept her car several hundred yards down the river's offshoot, Miller shut off the engine. She put her car in park. And then, with the windows rolled firmly shut and her seat belt still fastened, Miller calmly waited to die. "As planned, she was in nearly the same spot her husband died more than 60 years ago, when his car slid off an old, icy, wooden bridge" . (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, March 25, 2000).
