She was born February 4, 1967 in Blackshear to Richard James Miller and Willie Mae Anderson Miller. She grew up in Blackshear, surrounded by a large and loving family with five sisters and four brothers. She was preceded in death by an elder brother, Richard Nelson Miller and an elder sister, Belinda Faye Miller-Dennis.
Sandra was a very meek, loving, quiet and gentle mother, sister, and friend to many.
