“Thank you, for your endless hugs, laughter, advice, everything. I love you all so very much. Thank you for being a part of my world.💕 I love you guys. This isn’t a goodbye but I’ll catch you on the flip side.”
Life story

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.

In memory of Mia please consider supporting American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. To help others who may be in crisis and need support.

Everyone’s biggest fan

Mia was everyone’s biggest cheerleader. She wasn’t afraid to fight for those she loved and what she believed in. She had a heart of gold that radiated and touched the lives of everyone she met. She was my go to whenever I needed someone to talk too and always gave advice (even if it was terrible). I will forever miss my first princess and will keep her memory alive until my last breath. She taught me so much and grew with me. She loved her little ball of fluff Loki so much.
