At a very young age, the family moved to San Diego, Calif. where Sandy grew up and went to school. She graduated from Pacific Beach High School in San Diego in 1956.

Sandy worked for General Dynamics in San Diego, Calif. as a secretary. This is where she met her husband, Lawrence (Dutch) Miller in 1961. Sandy and Dutch married on Oct. 12, 1962. During their marriage, Sandy and Dutch had three children; Dan Miller, 1960, Scott Miller, 1963, and Mike Miller, 1966.

Sandy and Dutch Miller moved to Encampment, Wyo. in 1970 where they raised their family and operated the local hardware store, Beaver Valley Hardware, for approximately 25 years.
