So thankful our paths crossed many years ago on this side of Heaven.

To Ava and the family, you have my deepest sympathy and prayers. Miriam was such a sweet lady that I looked forward to seeing on my trips to Ingles. I enjoyed talking to her and made an effort to go through her line every time so we could catch up on our grandchildren. She was quite the character and I will miss her.
Had the privelage to work with Miriam for almost 5 years at ingles wonderful lady who would take time to talk to you if something was going on with you
Thoughts and prayers for all. She was a very special lady. My parents always went thru her line at Ingles for as long as I can remember. I also looked for her she always ask about my parents. I saw her at Ingles just a month or so ago driving a kart. She will be missed by many.
I will be praying for your family. I really enjoyed knowing your mom. I have known her for several years from Ingles and always enjoyed getting to stand and share a conversation for a few minutes. I hate that I didn’t know she was sick or I would have visited her. She will be greatly missed by my family. God bless all of you and give you comfort.
Soo heartbroken at the news. Our deepest condolences to the family. Miss Miriam was a long time family friend. She knew my entire family and she’s known me my entire life. She was the best coworker when I started my first job. I would wait inline even if hers was longest one at the store just to talk to her. She always asked how everyone was and would always be ready to lend a listening ear. She will be sorely missed. Fly high Miss Miriam!
Miriam was so precious . We always went through her line at Ingles. When I was pregnant 17 years ago with our daughter she would always look when I came in the door to see if we had the baby . The first time we came in with the baby she told the lady she was ringing up that she had to see this baby and came straight towards the door.I just handed my daughter over to her . You would have thought it was her own grand child. she will be greatly missed . Prayers for her family .Heavens newest Angel .
My sincere condolences to Miriam’s family. She was a strong, sharp-witted, down-to-earth lady with a good sense of humor and a listening ear. Miriam was loved by so many of us who routinely checked out with her at Ingle’s. I will miss her.
My thoughts and prayers are with Miriam’s family.
Miriam was a strong and ‘spunky’? woman who
brightened my day when she checked me out at
Ingle’s. I am saddened by her quick decline in
health and her subsequent death. I miss her.
