Miriam R Ferreira

Miriam Ferreira, a beacon of love and creativity, passed away at the age of 58 on July 31, 2025, due to sudden heart failure in Monroe, NY. Born on September 17, 1966, in the vibrant neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, Miriam's infectious warmth and selflessness touched the lives of everyone she knew.
Miriam's life was a tapestry of devotion and artistic expression. She was the cherished wife of Luis Ferreira, with whom she shared a profound and enduring love. Together, they built a life full of laughter, support, and mutual respect. Miriam was a guiding light for her three daughters, Miriana, Marina, and Devin, instilling in them the values of kindness, generosity, and the importance of family. Her role as a mother was one, she cherished above all, raising her daughters with an abundance of love and the freedom to explore their own paths.
Her passion for arts and crafts was more than a hobby; it was a way of connecting with her loved ones and the world around her. Miriam's hands were rarely still, as she was always found immersed in her latest project, creating beauty in every form and sharing it generously with friends and community. Her home was a welcoming haven filled with her handmade treasures; each piece telling a story of the love and care she put into her work.
Miriam's love extended to her four-legged companions, her dogs, who were her loyal friends and brought her immense joy. She would often be seen on her daily walks, a smile on her face, as she took in the simple pleasures of life with her furry companions by her side.
A gifted cook and baker, Miriam's kitchen was the heart of her home. The aromas of her delicious creations were a constant invitation to gather and enjoy the fruits of her labor. Her family and friends will fondly remember the countless meals and celebrations that were made special by her culinary talents.
An avid gardener, Miriam found solace and peace in the soil and blooms of her garden. She tended to her plants with the same care and attention she gave to every aspect of her life, nurturing each bud and leaf with patience and joy.
Miriam's legacy is one of love and creativity, a life lived selflessly in service of others. Her absence will be deeply felt by those who were fortunate enough to know her. She was a wife, mother, friend, and artist who left an indelible mark on this world. Miriam's spirit will continue to inspire and influence all who were touched by her kindness and her passion for life.
As we bid farewell to Miriam Ferreira, we celebrate the remarkable woman she was and the beautiful memories she leaves behind. Her life was a testament to the power of love and the enduring strength of the human spirit. She will be profoundly missed, but her legacy will live on in the hearts of her family and all who were graced by her presence.
