On September 19th 2020 at 68 years young, my wife and best friend loss her battle with pancreatic cancer, with her family at her side. We were married for 50 years, 3 months, and 27 days. She is survived by me, her husband, Dwight and her wonderful children Dwayne Savoie wife Maria, and Amy Mikish husband Derek. Two beautiful grandchildren Emily Mikish (Ms Marie) and Evan Mikish (Bozo). A sister Linda Blanda husband Johnny. Mother-in-law Audrey Watson husband Woody. Brother in laws Alan Savoie wife Kathy and Keith Savoie wife Shauna. Her dear friend since grammar school Cynthia Landry. And of course, her most cherished companion NOLA. She was preceded in death by her father and mother Joseph and Gladys Campo, and father-in-law Roswell “Tookie” Savoie. She is also preceded in death by her cherished nanny Henrietta Ockmand and a host of aunts and uncles. In every place she went and every person she met she left a lasting impression. That was truly obvious at the homes of the friends she made in her Landscaping maintenance business, she had for 20 years. She lived everyday to put a smile on each of your faces. It is because of her business she became closer to Mary Green, Amy’s Mother-in-law. Who would guess Mother-in-laws could work together every day, she made that a reality. She also leaves behind her niece’s and nephews Sean Savoie, Kevin Savoie, Justin Savoie, Shane Savoie, Tammy Wright, Ryan Blanda, Bryan Blanda, and their spouses and children. Also, her godchild Geri Schaff. Even though they were not related to Miriam, she always had a special bond with the entire Gunther family. A special thanks to the nurses of Compassus Emily and especially Robbie, who watched over her for the last two months. We will miss our beloved Miriam and Mom in ways words cannot express but will always cherish the memories and time we had together. Sweetheart we will honor you by living our lives the way you did every hour of every day. Because of her real love for animals, in lieu of flowers, please donate in her name, to your favorite animal shelter or charity. Sweet Dreams Sweetheart.
