Miriam J. McLaughlin born June 8, 1933, and passed away peacefully at her Whidbey Island home after a valiant fight with cancer on Dec. 4, 2007, with her sweetheart of the past 13 years by her side.

She retired to Whidbey Island in 1994 after meeting her soulmate. She quickly adapted to the kick-back style of the island life. Together they enjoyed many travels abroad and shared more together in the 13 years than most can fit in a lifetime. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Rest in peace now “Grandma Mac.” We love you and miss you.
