Miriam enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles, playing cards and spending time with her family.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert; her parents; a daughter-in-law, Becky Gutz; and a great-granddaughter, Angel Gutz.
She is survived by her sons, Robert (Rose) Gutz of Hastings and Rick Gutz of Fergus Falls; five grandchildren, Anne Gutz of Maplewood, Sarah (Anthony) Mulvihill of West St. Paul, David (Michelle) Gutz of Tacoma, WA, Kym (Kurt) Nygaard and John (Angie) Gutz, all of Fergus Falls; her great-grandchildren, Kassidy (Darrin) Mahn, Kelsey (Jake) Heck, Kole Nygaard, Shaylin Gutz, Kendal Nygaard and Noah Gutz; and numerous friends.
