Mirinda Ann LaDay Jacko was born on March 4, 1951, to Mable and Willie LaDay as the second of five children. From an early age, she demonstrated a bright mind and a determined spirit.

Mirinda was a graduate of Abraham Lincoln High School, where she excelled in mathematics and showcased her athleticism as a track runner. Her independent spirit and strong will carried her throughout life, guiding her to live boldly and on her own terms. She was never afraid of a challenge and believed that all things are possible. She proved that time and time again by being one of God's courageous walking miracles.

She had a deep passion and a gift for cooking, often bringing family and loved ones together through her amazing meals. Mirinda also found joy and strength in her faith in God, faithfully attending church and serving as President of the Deaconess Ministry, member of the Golden Years Ministry, supporter of the Have Faith TV Broadcast, the Adult Women Sunday School Class, and the Women of Destiny ministry at Borden Chapel Baptist Church. Never hesitating to serve whenever she could, Mirinda volunteered as long as her health allowed her to serve.

Mirinda wore many hats throughout her life-she was a devoted daughter, loving sister, mother, proud grandmother, caring aunt, mother-in-law, cousin, sister-in-law, and a cherished friend. She was also one of the best waitresses in Port Arthur, TX for many years, and went on to live her dream of running her very own soul food kitchen. Her presence brought encouragement, wisdom, and love to all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Mable LaDay; father, Willie LaDay; brothers, Charles LaDay and Willie LaDay, Jr.

She leaves to cherish her memory, her devoted partner, Narvin West; her only daughter, Shannon Guillory; her son-in-law that could make her smile on her toughest days, Michael S. Guillory; and her beloved grandsons who were the light of her life and her reason for living, Michael Sean Guillory, Jr., Christopher Jordan Guillory, Marc-Antony Charles Guillory, and Bryce Malik Guillory. She is also survived by her loving sisters, Terry Ann LaDay Mitchell and Florence Ann LaDay Williams.

Mirinda's unforgettable legacy lives on through the many lives she touched and the love she gave so freely. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by a host of family and friends.
