Patricia "Pat" was born April 23, 1951 in Harvey, ND, the third child born to Fulton & Marie (Ganje) Feldman.

Pat moved to Bismarck and was employed as a Customer Service Representative for Northwest Bell (Qwest Communications) until retiring in 2003 due to health reasons. She married Gary Miller on August 4, 1978 in Bismarck and they made their home near Baldwin, ND to present day. Pat worked for Dakota Staffing Solutions from 2003-2010 between receiving treatments and recovering from her bouts with cancer.
