She married Marvin Floyd Miller in Ballinger on October 16, 1947.  For many years she was employed with a Power and Light Company in Ballinger and Abilene, a Real Estate and Investment Firm in Dallas, and with Civil Service in Washington, D.C., retiring after spending 30 years in these business offices.

She was an example of Proverbs 31.  Her children and grandchildren were the joy of her life, and they called her blessed.  She was a typical matriarch of the family who kept in touch with so many.
