On June 4, 1930, a baby girl was born to William Miller and Odessa Miller, in Bay City, Texas, whom they named Amada Lee Miller. She was the youngest of her three siblings, Laverne Carter, Ernestine Laddie and Thurman Miller. All of whom are deceased. Although Amanda gave birth to one child, her siblings gave birth to a number of children.
Amanda was the granddaughter of John and Birdie Tolson, who were co-founders of Mother Zion Missionary Baptist Church. She was baptized at an early age by Rev. C. H. Brown. She grew up in Bay City and attended public school at Hilliard High. After graduating high school she furthered her education at Missouri Beauty School.
Amanda lived a great deal of her life as the wife of AB Robbins a career soldier. With him she traveled from one military Post to another. Therefore, her travels with AB exposed Mama to many States in America and overseas.
