She was educated at Dame Alice Owen's School and the University of London. In 1940, she married Montague Miller, and they had two children.

Miller was elected a councillor in Stoke Newington in 1945. She was Mayor of Stoke Newington for the 1957/58 municipal year. When the London Borough of Camden was created in 1965 she was elected to represent the Euston ward. She became the first woman mayor of Camden in the 1967/68 municipal year.
