Miranda L. Watson, age 30, of Rutherfordton, "God's Precious Angel who was temporarily entrusted to us," was called to her heavenly home on Saturday, April 28, 2018. Born February 9, 1988 in Rutherford County, she is the daughter of Calvin Watson, Jr. and Polly Byars Watson. Miranda attended Chase High School and was a member of Kistler's Chapel United Methodist Church. She had a heart of love for everyone she met and touched many lives. Miranda always had a smile on her face and was the epitome of "Joy". Just recently she was able to take riding lessons on her favorite horse, "Beau" due to the generosity of Ruth Gold and the Therapeutic Riding of Tryon (TROT). She had two special toys which never left her right hand. They were called "Fish" and "Little Man". Her life was a treasured gift from God to all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, David R. Byars; maternal grandmother, Louise Dodson Byars and a special great-aunt, Barbara Ledbetter Dodson. In addition to her parents, she is survived by her loving sister, Megan Watson Rollins and husband, Christopher Rollins of Rutherfordton; maternal grandmother, Barbara Byars of Cliffside; paternal grandparents, George Calvin Watson, Sr. and Opal Thompson of Rutherfordton. She is also survived by a host of aunts, uncles and cousins, which includes a special aunt and caregiver, Debbie Ware of Cliffside. A graveside service will be conducted at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 2, 2018 at Kistler's Chapel United Methodist Church Cemetery with Reverend Johnny McCarty officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are respectfully requested to TROT, [email protected] (828)859-9021.

No One Was Ever Loved More.

For The Watson Family...

An Irish Funeral Prayer

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

Praying for the entire Watson and Rollins family. Gods wonderful peace and comfort be with you all in knowing that one day soon and very soon you will see your precious daughter, sister, granddaughter and niece. Our heavenly Father received last week-end another one of His children home for all eternity just as He promises each of us. My prayers are with each of you at this time.
