Miki enjoyed vast areas of life. From working approx. 30 yrs. in the service industry to strutting her stuff across the floor under the lights as a model. To taking to the lanes scoring many 300 games in bowling earning herself many trophies. Taking to the open waters, she earned herself her scuba certificate, then took to the skies earning her pilots license in Jan. 1963 Miki loved playing the violin as well as the piano. She also served as a stipend volunteer for the U.S. Forest Service working on Mt. Lemmon and Sabino Canyon for which she finally retired at 80 yrs. old. 

Miki lived a full life and was such a beautiful and caring woman both inside and out. As a single mother of five, she helped them as much and as often as she could. She loved the ocean, walking the sandy beaches, Horses, cats, dogs. Her love of plants and vegetation was just as vast. From the tree to flowers. Her favorites were Carnations and Bougainvillea. With her love of the outdoors Hiking as well as being in the forest, it is her wish to be spread among nature on Mt. Lemmon. She will forever be greatly missed. She has become our angel, watching over us all, forever. 

We will be having a celebration of life services on Monday March 17th, 2025 at 1:00 pm at
