Mireille was a seamstress by trade and then became a homemaker while she raised her four boys. She had many hobbies including traveling, playing cards, cooking and sewing. She made most of her own clothing in her early years. She enjoyed shopping and loved to dress up nice. Her family was the most important thing to her and she kept in touch with her family from around the world and spent a lot of time with her sons and grandchildren whom she was very proud of.

Mireille was always uplifting and a joy to be around. She had a way of making long lasting friendships instantly and although she made a life in the United States for over 56 years she never lost her memories of food and music from her home country.
