Miriam loved Jesus, her family, her church, her friends, and her students. Miriam taught kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades for 37 years-in Pensacola, 10 years at Oakcrest Elementary School and 17 years at Cordova Park Elementary School. Miriam had an impact on many young lives and loved her students. Miriam loved and lived and was loved by so many. Miriam was a true Christian and was dedicated and loyal to her Christian faith. However, Miriam loved to laugh with her crazy teacher friends and she knew how to have clean fun. She would always laugh at Walter's stale and repeated jokes. Miriam had unconditional love for Trey, Mark, Collin, and for all her family and friends. One of her teacher friends recently said that Miriam was one in a million and she sure was. Miriam and Walter met in study hall in 1960 and the attraction was present almost immediately. They were married on December 30, 1966. Walter has been told all of his life that he married way above himself and his minister recently told him he outkicked his coverage with Miriam. Miriam loved life and we are going to miss her tremendously.
