Myranda was such a blessing to all. She was a happy-go-lucky girl that never knew a stranger and every day was a new happy day. She loved spending time with her family, especially her nieces and nephews. She loved so many things from playing with her toy cars and monster trucks, drawing with chalk, bowling, swimming and playing with stuffed animals, especially her snakes and basketball. Watching her bunnies and chickens was a favorite pastime.

She was loved by all who knew her with a smile, high five and hug that she shared with everyone.
