Greenwood Springs— Miriam Mize McCaine, 82, entered her heavenly home on Wednesday, February 6, 2019. Born at home in Quincy on October 22, 1937, she was a daughter of the late Greely and Burma Easter Mize.

Miriam graduated from Greenwood Springs High School. Throughout her career, she worked at the Gattman Garment Plant and the Penthouse Furniture Factory.

She was blessed with a loving and close-knit family whom she adored. Miriam was a faithful member of Living Waters Assembly of God in Priestville. Her faith in God and her love for her family guided her throughout her life.

Miriam loved sittin’ and talkin’ with her friends, and would spend days chatting at the Country Store in Greenwood Springs. A social, outgoing Southern lady, she never met a stranger and loved everybody she met. In her free time, she enjoyed hitting up the yard sales and auctions on the weekends, playing cards, and listening to Southern Gospel music. Above all, raising her children and grandchildren gave her the greatest joy of her life.
