On May 31, 1952, Mrs. Lib married the love of her life, the Reverend Wade H. Miles of Ruby, SC. She was quick to let everyone know she was a city girl who quickly learned the country way of living. Mrs. Lib and Preacher Wade started their family and worked alongside each other in every walk of life. From farming on the family land to serving the Lord together in ministry, they were an inseparable team.

Mrs. Miles retired after 25 years of service from B.C. Moore & Sons department store, where she was the manager of the shoe department.
