Interesting facts about Mia

She never judged anyone, and wanted everyone to love one another.

If you could tell Mia anything today, what would you say?

I wish you only knew how much you are loved. I will miss your laugh, our talks, your hugs, and all the ridiculousness you would come up with. But most of all I’ll miss you.

Mia loved nothing more than

Making sure everyone was happy and reminding them how much they are loved.

Obituary

Mia was raised in Cedar Lake Indiana and spent her adolescent years in Demotte Indiana. Where she would later create her first home with her boyfriend, Cori, and their cat Loki. She worked as a sales associate for Verizon and a banquet server at Fair Oaks Farm.

Mia was 21 years old when she passed away. Her contagious smile and happiness hid the sadness she was battling. Mia made it a point in her short life to make sure everyone she crossed paths with was happy, and reminded them they were loved.
