Miranda’s bright smile and hearty laugh were her trademarks. Whether on the rugby field, with friends, or in the company of her family, she always brought joy and laughter wherever she went. Her energy was boundless, and her ability to brighten any room was unmatched. A passionate athlete, Miranda played rugby with a fierce heart and a never-give-up attitude.
