Sheryl was born in Sidney Montana on Feb 25, 1948, the daughter of Nathan and Kathryn (Mitchell) Miller. They lived in rural Bloomfield until Sheryl was 3. The family then moved to Glendive until Sheryl was in third grade. She moved back to Intake for the fourth grade then on to Miles City where she attended Garfield, Washington and Custer County High School.
Sheryl and Sandy were united in marriage June 11, 1967 at the Wesleyan Church in Miles City. They began their life together living in Phoenix Arizona. After leaving Arizona they lived in Wolford North Dakota, came back to Montana and settling in their current home in Fallon, Montana in 1986.
Sheryl had many hobbies including needlework, crocheting, white ware painting and artwork, but growing roses was her passion. She always loved music and started sharing her love at age 9 singing gospel songs on a local Glendive radio station. In August 2010 she continued her music career by making an acapella CD with her sisters. She was a prayer warrior and prayed for many people found in her "prayer notebook". Sheryl loved the Lord and longed for her home in heaven.
