Known to many as “Mimi,” she held a special place in the hearts of her family, cherished by her grandchildren as “Mom-Mom Mimi,” and fondly known as “Aunt Mim’” to her nieces and nephews. In every name she carried, there was a reflection of the closeness she nurtured and the steady presence she provided.
Miriam found genuine enjoyment in the simple pleasures that made days brighter: bingo, shopping trips, and the familiar routine of getting her hair done and keeping her perm appointments. Her generosity was a constant and offered naturally, without pretense. If someone took her to bingo, she would laugh and say she would share, or that she “owes you,” a small phrase that captured her gracious spirit and the warmth she brought to ordinary moments.
Miriam enjoyed celebrating the holidays and birthdays with her family. She loved being around everyone.
Miriam was the loving wife of 47 years to the late Joseph Pellegrino. She is survived by her sons, Larry Kahhan (late wife Dorothy “Dottie”) and Jeff Kahhan (Donna). She is also survived by her grandchildren: Jennifer Davis, Christopher Harkins (Liz), Jeffrey Kahhan Jr. (Anna), Justin Kahhan (Alanna), and Lauren McGinn (Tom). She was also the proud great- "Mom-Mom" to Nicholas, Paige, Logan, Nicolina, Ellianna, Elliana, Madeline, Benjamin, and Lucas.
