On Saturday, guests are invited to gather from 10:00–11:00 a.m. at St. John’s Catholic Church for visitation and quiet reflection, followed by the Memorial Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m. with Father Jimmy Joseph officiating. A burial will take place immediately following the service, where Miranda will be laid to rest. A luncheon will follow, offering family and friends a time to gather, share memories, and remember Miranda together. Miranda was born and raised in Little Falls, Minnesota, where she grew up surrounded by family, friends, and the community she loved. She graduated from Little Falls Community High School in 2009. Later, while working at 12 Mile Tavern, she met Brian, the man who would become her husband. From the beginning, their relationship was built on connection, laughter, and love. Miranda had a genuine way of connecting with people. She was kind, caring, and warm, with a bright light that drew others in. She made people feel welcome and valued, and her presence brought comfort and happiness to those around her. She worked at U.S. Bank for ten years, where she was known for her dedication, reliability, and strong work ethic. Miranda’s greatest joy in life was being a mother and a wife. She cherished time spent with her family and deeply enjoyed being an aunt, sharing special moments with her nieces and nephews. Above all else, she was the best mom, pouring her heart and love into her son every day. Miranda is survived by her husband, Brian Hollenkamp; her son, Hank Hollenkamp; her parents, Jerry and Lori Gross; her grandmother, Donna Waldvogel; her siblings, Mallory Gross; (Dakota), Moriah VanHal (Cory), Michael Gross (Isabelle), and Mathew Gross; her sister-in-law, Vicki Hemmesch (Adam); and her parents-in-law, Mary and Dave Hollenkamp. She is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews, along with extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Ben and Virginia Gross, and her grandfather, James Waldvogel. For her son, Hank—may you always know how deeply you were loved, and may your mother’s love guide you every step of your life. Arrangements are with the LeMieur Funeral Home in Little Falls, MN (320)632-5242 www.shelleyfuneralchapels.com
