She was the best aunt to Willow Bird and Juniper Joslin. Her grandparents are Deb and Rick Land and Holly Carleton, and her great grandmother, Nanny Della Bird.

Cheerleading was a big part of Mikaylahs life, and it was made so much better by doing it alongside her best friend, Olivia, as well as the whole cheerleading squad. The family would like to thank everyone who has reached out with kind words, thoughts, prayers, and food, as well as the Northeast CSD. Because music is a big part of our family, memorials may be made to the Playing for Change Organization.
