Miriam J. Hopkins, 86, a resident of Rio Rancho since 1993, passed away on Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Miriam was born June 7, 1922, the daughter of Walter and Oma Steward Orndorf in New Straitsville, OH. She was married July 3, 1947, to David L. Hopkins in Dennison, TX. Miriam was passionate about everything she did. This is especially true in the way she cared for her family. She was the epitome of a 1950's full-time wife and mother. Miriam devoted her life to being a caring, giving, and supportive force to her husband, children, and grandchildren. She and her family lived in Albuquerque, various cities in CA, Santa Fe, and most recently Rio Rancho. Throughout her life, Miriam literally worked alongside David and her children in any project they endeavored. Miriam was an excellent cook, she loved to knit, and she enjoyed traveling. She was blessed to have had a life that was full and a life that she lived to the fullest. Miriam is survived by: her husband David of 61 years; children, Mary Lou Hopkins of Rio Rancho and Lucinda McConnell-Hodge of Albuquerque; three grandchildren, Adam Patrick Runyan of Colorado Springs, CO, Lane McConnell and William McConnell, both of Albuquerque; one sister, Leontine Strate of Crooksville, OH.
