Broyles

Mia Lynn Broyles was born on March 9, 1968, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mia is survived by her mother, Vanessa Williams, and was preceded in death by her father, Harry Broyles.

Mia graduated from Ottawa Hills High School and attended Davenport College earning her associate degree in business. Mia was the captain of the pom-pom team and captain of the T.S. Dancers, led by Ernestine Harris at Ottawa Hills High School, who continues to guide and mentor the entire team today. Mia's classmates at Ottawa Hills High School share a strong, unbreakable bond and have shown tremendous love and support to our entire family.

Mia loved to dance, and she loved being a mother to her little mini-me, Ariana, the pride and joy of her life. She cherished giving Ariana and her grandchildren the very best life. Mia was known for her big, bright, radiant smile that commanded the room upon her entrance and said it all.

Mia was also known for her incredible sense of style and fashion, and it showed in everything she wore. She always wore the outfit; she never let the outfit wear her. One year, she was invited to attend a gala, and the beautiful, fun dress she chose to wear was impeccable. Her entrance was just as fabulous as she was.

Mia was kind to all, had a big heart filled with love, and was loved by many throughout her life. Her sweet spirit will truly be missed.

We love you, Mia.
