She was employed as both a C.N.A. at Elderwood in Waverly and as a personal care aide in Gillett and taking care of people was generally in her nature. Whether with her children, nieces and nephews, many friends or with her two giant dogs, Mac and Bo, Miriah would be the warm presence in a room; the loud bit of laughter and ready to give great big hugs full of love.
We all feel her loss. With every hour of the day, we will remember her brightness, the brilliant warmth of her big smile, and especially the way she loved her family.
Miriah was the best mother her children could ask for and it is with the heaviest of hearts that we not say goodbye, but bid a temporary farewell, to one of the best of us.
Funeral services were held, April 6, at Blauvelt Funeral Home, Waverly, NY. with Pastor Jennifer Wolf officiating.
