Carol Kay Root was born on May 13, 1939, in Kansas City, Missouri. She was the youngest of three daughters born to Walter Roscoe and Hallie Gwendolyn (Sturgeon) Root. Her father worked for the railroad and the family lived in California and Osawatomie before moving to Greeley. When they were moving into their Greeley home they were helped by the neighbor boy Chuck Miller. Carol graduated from Greeley High School with the class of 1957.

On June 14, 1958, Carol married the neighbor boy Charles "Chuck" Miller, at St. John's Catholic Church, Greeley, Kansas. Chuck and Carol began their married life in Kansas City, Kansas, returning to Greeley in 1968. Chuck and Carol were blessed with six children: Ellen, Mike, Theresa, Deb, Mark, and Diane "Dink".

She loved spending time with family and friends; her grandchildren and great grandchildren were especially dear to her heart.
