Helen was born on May 22, 1938, in Garnett, KS. She was the sixth of seven children born to W.R. "Buck" Cassity and Esther (Burlingham) Cassity. She attended school in Garnett and graduated from Garnett High School with the class of 1956. On March 17, 1957, she was united in marriage to Harold Lee Miller in the Bush City Baptist Church.
