**Attention: Due to extreme weather the services for Montse have been postponed. When we have new times we will update this obituary accordingly.**

Maria Montserrat “Montse” Miranda, 33, of Salt Lake City, UT, but native of Asheville, NC, was born on April 8, 1991 and sadly passed away too soon on September 14, 2024.

Montse was known for always being strong in her faith, friendly and kind to everyone, loving so fiercely and unapologetically and worrying about everyone before herself. Montse never met a stranger, only new friends. You weren’t able to meet Montse without falling in love with her. She was truly loved by so many friends and family who will remember her contagious smile, her quick wit and incredible sense of humor.

Montse graduated from Enka High School in 2010, and then followed up with studies at the University of North Carolina in Asheville and Salt Lake City Community College. She happily worked at the University of Utah Hospital with her loyal colleagues.

Montse was devoted to her family and is survived by her mother, Elba Miranda; sisters and their husbands, Judy Miranda and Elizabeth Summers; brothers and their wives, Humberto Miranda, Ricardo Leon, Luis Leon, Lorenzo Leon and Marco Leon; her nephew, Maddox Reid; along with many aunts, uncles and cousins who will miss her terribly. She enjoyed listening to music, watching her classic shows and movies, spending time with Lemon, her basset hound, and enjoying any time she could with family.

Montse’s family will be hosting a Celebration of Life on Monday, September 30, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Groce Funeral Home, 1401 Patton Ave., Asheville, NC, 28806.
