Mabel Lorraine (Sais) Miranda 

Mabel Lorraine (Sais) Miranda 

1942-2024 

Mabel was a devoted wife of 36 years before losing her husband to cancer. Her strong belief in God carried her through her darkest moments. She had a loving, generous heart, and was always encouraging and supportive.  

She was a real mom who was an incredible cook (she loved New Mexico chile!) and baker. She had a great sense of humor and was loved by all who knew her. 

Mabel was preceded in death by her husband, Albert Miranda Sr.; her parents, Eva and Pilar Sais, of Casa Colorada; her in-laws, Lorenzo and Mary Miranda, of Veguita; her brothers, Barney Sais, Primitivo Sais, Valentin Sais and Benjamin Sais; and her sisters, Celsita Harrison and Virginia Chavez. 

Mabel is survived by her sister, Margaret Garcia (Abran); and by her six children, Diane Winfrey, Jacqueline Bourke (Russell), Albert Miranda Jr. (Carmen Mendoza), Michelle Smith (Robert), Debra Miranda and Phillip Miranda (Heidi); her grandchildren, Alexa Cavis (Jay Zamora), Brandon Cavis-Miranda, Breanna Miranda, Eric Miranda, Jacob Miranda, Peyton Smith, Baylee Smith, Megan Villalobos (Oscar), Adiah Miranda, Naomi Miranda and Samuel Miranda; her great-grandchildren, Angelyna Zamora, Ezryah Zamora, Cye Zamora, Aaliyah Miranda, Melanie Villalobos and Maddox Villalobos; her many nephews and nieces, and her sisters-in-law, Darlene, Pauline, Dolores, Rosie and Luby.   

We want to thank Mabel’s caregivers, Debra Miranda, Breanna Miranda and Robin Vargas, who treated her with love, dignity and respect. Mabel will be greatly missed.
