Beautiful and intelligent best describe Miriam. She could type and take shorthand better than most....winning awards for both. She was an avid football fan - Seattle Seahawks being "her" team. Politics was also a passion. She was extremely well-read and informed about the issues of the day. She had a sense of style that was regal and commanding. She created a home environment that was "magazine worthy" and never stopped striving for perfection in anything she did. Her cooking was legendary.

Miriam, Kenneth and family lived in Iran from 1953 - 1955. Kenneth was an educational technician serving through the U.S. Government.

Mom - we love you deeply and cherish every moment we were able to be challenged for perfection and loved and tutored by you. We miss you deeply - you will always be in our hearts. Services will be held in Redmond, Washington and Mount Pleasant, Utah.
