Olive Miller was a pioneer and throughout her life she continued to promote Girls’ Brigade and Christian values, making a significant contribution to both the life of Girls’ Brigade and the Cayman Islands.

Originally from Essex, Olive travelled to the Caribbean as a missionary youth worker for the Church of Scotland  in 1946 and quickly established the Girls’ Guildry in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.  She served two terms as International Vice President of Girls’ Brigade, from 1968 – 1973 and then from 1978 – 1983.
