Rachel Elizabeth Miller Fife was the only child of Robert H. Miller (1877-1940) and Louella Bovard Miller (1879-1947). Rae was born in Cherry Valley, a small village just south of Emlenton, PA. When she was young, the family moved to the Pittsburgh suburbs of Wilkensburg and Crafton before residing in an area neighboring West Elizabeth, PA. Rae Miller and Sam Fife began dating when they were students at Clairton High School.

After high school graduation, Rae entered nurses training and Sam began a career in engineering and construction, They were married in Clairton on August 30, 1924.

Sam and Rae had four children, two boys and two girls. In 1939, the family moved from Franklin, PA to Clairton, and in 1947 they settled on a farm near Beaver, Pennsylvnia.
