KEITHA LANELL MIRANDA

Keitha Miranda, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, entered eternal rest peacefully on May 15th, 2025. She was 67 years old. Born on September 28, 1957, in Globe, Arizona, to her parents Sarge and Leona Tarron, Keitha grew up as the youngest of five siblings in a tight-knit family. 

As a young girl, Keitha developed a love for the outdoors, spending countless hours playing outside with close friends and siblings. She graduated from Miami High School in May 1976, and just a short year later, she became a mother. Keitha concentrated her life after school on raising her three children, Jeremy, Ian, and Rochelle. As a wife, mother, and grandmother, there was nothing she cherished more than spending time with her family.

Keitha was known for her warm smile and generous spirit. She leaves behind a legacy of love in her family: her children, Jeremy (Leticia) Rocha, Ian (Sarah) Rocha, and Rochelle (David) Toney; grandchildren, Emilio, Joshua, Maxx, Janae, Jocelyn, Sabastian, Gavin, and Tatum; and one great-grandchild. Keitha was preceded in death by her loving husband, Jim Miranda, sister Geralyn Ann Nichols, and parents Wiley (Sarge) and Leona Tarron. Her family and friends will forever cherish her home-cooked meals and the stories she told on her patio swing. Keitha's light will continue to shine in the hearts of those she loved. Her legacy reminds us to live with kindness, embrace every moment, cherish our loved ones, and never stop smiling.

A memorial service/celebration of life will be held at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, located at 844 Sullivan St. Miami, AZ. Services will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, June 20th. A luncheon will be held at the Ladies Center next door to the church immediately following the services. We invite Keitha's friends and family to join us in celebrating the life of our mother.
