Born on August 2, 1924, in Lyman, N.H., and raised and educated in Lyman, she was the daughter of the late John Kenneth Trevena and Rosabelle (Danforth) Trevena.
In 1941, she married Gerard Leo St. Hilaire, and in 1957 they moved to Kingston, N.H., where they raised their family. Miriam worked hard at home raising her five children.
She is survived by daughter, Linda St. Hilaire of Marietta, Ga; and sons, Wayne St. Hilaire and his wife, Kathy of Brentwood, Richard St. Hilaire and his wife, Vivian of Kingston, and Craig St. Hilaire and his wife, Carol of Barrington, N.H; grandchildren, Alyssa, Cynthia, Michelle, Kristin, Jenna, Nicole, and Josh; daughter-in-law, Amy Hess; five great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Gerard; her son, Philip; brothers, Kenneth Trevena and John Trevena; and her sister, Harriet Lampro.
A member of the Trinity Order of the Eastern Star, Miriam enjoyed collecting sea shells, gardening, canning, and scrapbooking.
Miriam will be remembered for her constant smile and heart of gold. She loved showing the photographs she and Gerard took throughout their marriage and the many places they travelled. Her grandchildren were in awe of the stories she told of how she had to ride her pony, Daisy, to school, even in the snow. She will be sadly missed by her family and friends.
