Personal life
Miller married her husband Robert in 1972. They began farming at Rines Creek, and had three children. She ran a ceramics shop from her home until her dust allergy inhibited her ability to continue. Miller and her husband retired from farming in 1999, with Robert thereafter starting a logging company while Margaret opened a quilt shop out of their home.[10]
In May 2004, Miller's youngest son Bruce was killed by a drunk driver. This lead her to join MADD Canada in Truro, later becoming the National President and spokesperson for the organization.[10]
