Lynn Adell Brost was born on July 1, 1947, in Alliance, Nebraska, to Adolph and Clare (Sisley) Brost.  She was the youngest of 7 children with 4 brothers and 2 sisters. She spent her childhood in Alliance before her family moved to Murdo, South Dakota in 1952. She attended school in Murdo, graduating from Jones County High School in 1965. After graduation she attended Cosmetology school in Rapid City, SD, graduating in 1966. She started her career in Pierre, SD, before moving back to the Black Hills, landing in Belle Fourche. There she met her future husband, John Miles, and they were married June 12, 1971. Soon after, they moved to Gillette, and have been in the area ever since. Her first daughter, Bobbi Lynn, was born April 13, 1972, and her second daughter, Jeridee Jean was born August 8, 1973. Lynn and John spent their life on various ranches, mainly northeast of Gillette, where John worked. Lynn worked as a cosmetologist at various shops in Gillette over the years, Boardwalk being the latest. She had a loyal following of clients and always looked forward to their visits. In 55 consecutive years of a career she stated "There's not a day I wake up and hate to go to work." She continued working until her health forced her to retire in late 2020. Lynn and John celebrated their 50 ^th anniversary in 2021.

Lynn's biggest joy in life was people. She enjoyed attending her kids and grandkids activities as well as getting together to visit with her friends around the area. She looked forward to birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and reunions in South Dakota and Nebraska where she could visit with her large extended family and lifelong friends. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Gillette, and Moorcroft, and really enjoyed the rural worship gatherings they used to have in the Weston area.
