Mirtala was born in Honduras and was a resident of Arabi, Louisiana for 40 plus years before moving to Madisonville, Louisiana. She will always be remembered for her loyalty and dedication to her family, her caring and loving spirit, her laughter, and spoiling her grandchild. She was a wonderful example of what it means to care for others and will be deeply missed.
