Miriam's passion for dancing was evident throughout her life, bringing joy not just to herself but to those around her. She was cherished for her nurturing spirit and was described by those who knew her as loving, caring, and strong. A committed member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, her faith and love for God were central to her life. She often shared the wisdom that "your friends are your mom and your pillow," a reflection of her belief in the comfort and wisdom found in close relationships.

Her sons held a special place in her heart, and they were the most significant people in her life.

Although specific details regarding a memorial service are yet to be decided, those wishing to honor Miriam's memory may contribute to Dementia and Alzheimer's research, a cause chosen by her family.

The family wishes to express their gratitude to Vitas Healthcare and Lake Mariam Health and Rehabilitation for their dedicated care and support during Miriam's final days. Her life, rich in love and devotion, will be fondly remembered and dearly missed.
