Miranda’s family invites you to join us for a memorial service honoring Miranda’s life & legacy.
Miranda is my niece, Miranda would call me at lease once a month we would talk for hours.
I will alway remember my 75th birthday surprise party 20 years ago here in Yorba Linda, CA at my daughter home, Linda. My special surprise was when Miranda was there. I will always cherish that moment. I will miss my once a month call from Miranda..
May her soul and spirit be with the Great Ancestors and Ancestress, May her journey be sweet and swift.
Much love to daughter and sons.
Love and grace. A great woman of God. A faithful soldier for Christ
I’m so sorry for the loss of our dear cousin Miranda; she will be missed. She called and checked on mom (Mattie Weathington) all the time, and travel to Humble Tx for a visit a few years ago. We loved her, but now they are both resting in the loving arms of our Lord And Savior.
Miranda and I are first cousins. We grew up together and spent a significant part of our life together. She and sister Daisey(Chanel) came to live with us upon the death of her mother in the early 50″s. My being 3 years older than her we spent teenage years together until she married first and I did 2 years after and moved to Detroit where I have been until presently. We kept in touch and from time to time met at various family functions. We would agree and disagree but as those who knew her she always had the last word!
She didn’t hesitate to drive over a thousand miles from Texas to be with me during the death of my daughter also stopping in Chicago to bring other relatives with her to Detroit. That was Miranda! Gregarious and always outgoing I marvelled and envied that she never hesitated to meet and address a challenge throughout her life.
Smart, always open, kind and friendly to everyone whether she knew them or not. We would be among strangers and whereas I would be hesitant Miranda would be always be open, kind and friendly to everyone whether she knew them or not.
Miranda loved the Lord and didn’t hesitate to involve in knowledgeable, deep and sincere discussions about God. Her scriptural knowledge was aweinspring.
I will miss my dear cousin and but I am confident that she now rests in a heavenly place with God.
My mother was love, grace, patient, insightful and overflowing with kindness and generosity. I am heartbroken at her passing, but overjoyed that she can rest finally in peace. She will be missed but definitely remembered. I love you momma.

My cousin, Miranda, was nine years older than me. So she was an adult by the time my family lived closest to her on the near north side of Chicago, from the time I was 8 years old until I was 13. Towards the end of those years she was married and raising a family. Fortunately, her home was on the route to a public library that I spent a lot of time visiting. And Miranda was a big family person and so she was close to my mother, her aunt Bernice, and attended all of the family get togethers in Robbins, Illinois and elsewhere over the years. Miranda had an extremely sharp mind and a vibrant and engaging personality. It was easy to see how she was able to juggle raising 7 children, and working. She had an unusual and gifted mind. Everyone loved her. When she spoke to you she gave you her undivided attention; as if you were singularly important. With her sister, Daisy, they managed at one Family Reunion in particular, to command everyone’s attention while regaling all of us with stories about our common upbringing and relatives. Again, it was that sharp mind, memory and interest in all of us, that enabled her to go back decades in our family history to hilariously recount family trials and triumphs. I have always thought that a parent’s most enduring legacy to their children is the example they set and the values they embodied. In Miranda’s case that would include the abundant love and sacrifice required for her to raise her six boys and one girl. And her lasting legacy, for all of us who knew her, was the joy with which she lived her life — and added to ours. Miranda would want her extended family to stay in touch as a tribute to her. I hope we will.
Miranda, you were loved and will be deeply missed. Now your real life has begun. Give all our relatives, including Ardale a kiss and hug from me. I will see all of them again.
My condolences to everyone mourning our loss 🙏🏽💐
I still can’t believe she’s gone
