She married John Miller on June 24, 1971.  Even though she was a city girl, she learned a lot about ranching and ranched with her husband, John.  They ranched at multiple places around Stevensville until 1987 when they purchased a ranch at Glen.  In October 1990, they sold the ranch in Glen and moved back to Stevensville to ranch.  They stayed in Stevensville until the spring of 1998 and they moved down to Leadore to start a career of managing ranches.  
Bunny really enjoyed working side by side with her husband on the ranch feeding, doctoring, haying and fixing fences and operating equipment.  She also spent several summers working as the ditch rider up the Burnt Fork. 
In 2008, they retired from managing ranches and moved to Deer Lodge to be closer to family and to chase their grandkids.  She enjoyed fishing, camping, playing cards and making preserves.  She was most comfortable in jeans or coveralls and working outside.  She had a very kind heart, was always willing to help another out and she was always a fan of the underdog.
