Throughout Mia’s life she developed hundreds of friendships with people from multiple countries. She was known to help people in need and had a large heart. She was an ICU nurse for more than 20 years and loved nursing. She also treasured her motorcycles and riding but above all, she missed her beloved son Nathaniel following his death in 2017 and has now gone home to be with him.
