Obituary: Miriam Baderian

Miriam Baderian passed away peacefully on Feb. 23, 2024, at Brookdale Senior Living in Deerfield Beach, Florida, at the age of 75. She was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, a daughter of Thomas and Betty (Ahie) Caram, and belonged to St. Anthony Maronite Catholic Church. Miriam met the love of her life, Stephan Baderian, and relocated to Freeport, New York. Together, they raised twin daughters, Jennie and Jillian — the center of their lives.

After moving to Ocoee, Florida, they became integral parts of the community, operating their own business, Two Sisters Distributing, being members of many civic organizations and caring for Stephan’s parents and sister. Miriam was an active volunteer at Resurrection Catholic Church and numerous food pantries in the Orlando area.

Miriam dedicated her working years to serving her community, retiring with a heart full of treasured experiences. She will be fondly remembered for her friendship, selfless volunteerism and her devotion to her faith.

Miriam’s legacy of love endures as she leaves behind a role as a beloved mother to her daughters, Jennie, of San Francisco, and Jillian, of Groveland; and as a grandmother to four loving grandchildren: Tanner, Alexis, Vanessa and Mila. She was the aunt to James and Maurice Demers; and had a multitude of family and friends.

Preceding her in death are her husband, Stephan; father, Thomas; mother, Betty; and sister, Judith (Judy).
