She was married to a Uvalde CISD police officer and had one daughter.

Mireles was outgoing and loved running, hiking, spending time with her dog, and Crossfit.

“Her smile and personality never went unnoticed as when she was around, it was never a dull moment,” her obituary states.

Her funeral mass will be held at 10 a.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Interment will follow at Hillcrest Cemetery.

Also Friday, visitation services will be held for student Alexandria “Lexi” Rubio. Earlier this week, Lexi’s parents testified before Congress in a hearing on gun violence in America.

Lexi’s funeral will be held on Saturday.
