Former TV broadcaster and state legislator Steen Miles, who passed away Wednesday after a battle with lung cancer, will be honored at her church in Decatur on Saturday, April 8.

Visitors can pay their respects at 1 p.m Saturday at Greenforest Community Baptist Church at the Gregory B. Levett and Sons South DeKalb Chapel. (Directions here.)

Miles, 70, spent 15 years at 11Alive in various capacities and spent two years representing DeKalb County in the state senate from 2005 to 2007. (Read my obit here.)

Her two daughters Kellie and Heather posted this note on Facebook:

"Our mother was a regal woman who persevered through through trial, tribulation and sickness unscathed. Therefore, we're honoring her legacy by wearing purple (royalty) and platinum (precious and enduring) during her celebration. We invite you to join us at her Celebration of Life if you're able. If not, please consider wearing purple and platinum on Saturday, April 8, 2017 in remembrance of her."
