Miranda Minilgak

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we share and mourn the unexpected and tragic passing of Miranda Minilgak, on August 10th, 2023 at the young age of 32.

Miranda was a shining light in the eyes of those that knew her well. Miranda worked hard at everything she did and she lived her life to be a good mother to her two children, Hazel and Emma.

Miranda loved many things in life, but always the simplest things the most - drinking a cup of coffee in the early morning hours before anyone else woke up; watching a beautiful sunset on her deck; enjoying the sunshine on her deck with the distant sounds of her girls playing at the playground. Miranda loved camping and anything to do with the outdoors.

Miranda’s contagious laughter and gentle smile will be missed so heavily by those around her, but especially by her family and her children.

Miranda is survived by too many of her family members, including her Mother, Julia Minilgak; Father, Shawn Morris; Her Children, Emma Minilgak-Scott And Hazel Minilgak-Scott; Siblings, Chris Morris, Patrick Payne, Brandie McNally, Tiffany Otokiak, Melynda Ehaloak, Gerald Payne; as well as many nieces and nephews; Miranda through her life has made many chosen family members from all across Yellowknife including the Scotts, Jensens, Mazurs; as well as many made in Iqaluit.

We are creating this GoFundMe account to cover some of the unexpected costs that have come with Miranda’s passing; and any funds left over will be deposited into an account for Emma and Hazel future.
