Marilyn was born in Livingston, MT, on June 30, 1940, to Herman and Evelyn (Bowlds) Sasse. She grew up in Livingston and worked there before moving to Helena, where she met and married the love of her life Michael Leonard Miller.

Marilyn was a beautiful soul. She always found the good in everyone. She left a touch of her soul with everyone she met.

So sad to hear about Marilyn. For only being 4ft 6in tall she had a heart bigger than Montana. Rest in peace my friend. You will always be “Aunt Marilyn ” to all The Bejamin, Boyer, Cottrill, DuBois and Grover family’s.

Marilyn was one of the sweetest ladies I have known. She had a heart bigger than big, always a smile and kind word no matter what the situation she found the good. You always knew she was in the room, her voice boomed and always brought a smile to my face. Rest In Peace dear Marilyn.

Marilyn was a special lady I had known for over 20 years. Marilyn had a loving, kind heart for everyone, especially children. She has now joined her beloved Mike in God’s care. Rest in peace “Squirt”.

Marilyn was one of a kind!! No one was sweeter, kinder, giving, thoughtful, joyful, or loving as she was. I only knew her for 12 short years but I am a better person for knowing her. Her love and caring for children was her joy. She cared for Mike like he was a king. She talked about all “her” kids, and grandkids very proudly. She loved Jesus and wanted you to have the peace she had. You are missed! Marilyn you can see now and hear every little sound. Thank you for being my friend.

Marilyn and Marie Lewis and I went to many parties and dances. She was always fun and happy. She always had us over for a Christmas dinner and sharing of gifts. I have been in Billings now for 20 years but when I came to Helena, we always had dinner and talked about the old times. She called me when her husband passed away. I was very happy when she married Mike and joked that maybe we were distant relatives because my maiden name is Miller. I was sad when she lost him. Rest in peace, Marilyn. You will be missed. Your friend, Bonnie
