Miriam Soriano

Miriam Soriano, age 66, passed away on Saturday, February 17, 2018 at Saratoga Hospital with her husband and soulmate at her side. 

She was born on December 29, 1951 in Manhattan, New York, the daughter of the late Federico Rodriguez and Rosa LaCourt Rodriguez.

Miriam was a Correctional Officer at Bedford Hills, Washington and Great Meadows Correctional Facilities for 17 years. 

She truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; chatting with friends and neighbors, planting flowers, especially her Japanese garden, and spending time with her animals.  She loved cooking, her specialty was international cooking and she enjoyed researching new recipe ideas in cookbooks so that she can share them with her family and friends.  Miriam’s unique flair for fashion, especially shoes and home interior decorating, was admired by many.  She was a very kind and gentle soul with a loving and generous heart. Miriam was a devoted grandmother. Miriam’s grandchildren, her grand-babies as she called them, were her greatest joy.  Miriam extended that grandmotherly love to the children and grandchildren of her dear friends.  She had an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep and positive way because Miriam gave all of herself to those she loved.   Those who loved Miriam most will always remember and cherish that rare gift and their special, loving bond.  She also lived in Ticonderogo for 15 years.  She loved it so much that she went there frequently to spend time with her beloved friends that she considered her family. 

Loved ones that will miss Miriam until they meet again are her beloved husband and best friend Frank Soriano, II, whom Miriam shared 35 fun-filled years; son, Frank Soriano, III (Adrianne); daughter, Elizabeth Soriano; son, John Anthony Soriano (Robin); sisters, Elba Gonzalez (Gennero) and Rosemary Rodriguez; her grandchildren, Justin Cordero, Steven Cordero, Frank Soriano IV, Jacob Soriano Bentley; many nieces and nephews, cousin, Wilfredo and Doris Torres and extended family, Jim and Cathy Bouck, Darlene and Bill Scharbonue. Tony and Carmela Gerato, Sory Zaccone, Richard and Milli Rodriguez, Mike Rosado, Joe Olander retired NYS Police BCI Investigator and Joe and Maria Moran who will miss her dearly.

Miriam is preceded in death by brothers, Frank and Freddie Rodriquez.
