Miriam Crisenbery Obituary
Miriam M. Crisenbery, 70, of Goshen, stepped into heaven on June 9, 2025, at home surrounded by her family.
She was born Sept. 3, 1954, in Dayton, Ohio, to Floyd W. and Edna Mae (Christner) Miller. They preceded her in death.
On May 1, 1976, she married Lee Crisenbery, the love of her life, at Bethel Mennonite Church, Nappanee.
He survives along with their children, Rose (Mike) Epp, Goshen, Gary (Adena) Crisenbery, Prescott, Arizona, Rodney Crisenbery and Todd Crisenbery, both of Goshen; grandchildren, Austin Crisenbery, Brynn (boyfriend, Michael Johnsen) Crisenbery, Julianna (fiancé, Wade Morrison) Epp, Jennifer Epp, Autumn (fiancé, Gabe Wilkerson) Crisenbery, Bryce Crisenbery, and Landon, Maya and Elijah Epp.
Also surviving are siblings, Grace (Tim) Graber, Milford, Faith (TJ) Jenkins, Nappanee, Gloria Banda and Nancy Miller, both of Goshen, Ted (Rose) Miller, Sheldon, Wisconsin and Tim (Karen) Miller, Tyler, Texas.
A loving homemaker, and the best wife, mom and grandma, Mrs. Crisenbery shared ownership with her husband Lee of their business Crisenbery Plumbing. She appreciated the small things in life, was an avid photographer and lifelong learner. Miriam stayed on the leading edge of technology; she was known as the family photographer and historian documenting years of life. Her grandchildren were so important to her, she loved, spoiled and taught them so many things. Most important to her was teaching her family to follow Jesus and to enjoy God's creation.
Miriam was currently attending New Paris Missionary Church. She was devoted to her family and especially to her beloved grandchildren.
Visitation will be Sunday, June 15, from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at Griner Church, 12418 C.R. 20, Middlebury, and Monday, June 16, beginning at 9 a.m. prior to the 10 a.m. funeral service also at Griner Church. Pastor David Hackney, New Paris Missionary Church, will officiate.
