Cohen, her grandson Mark Cohen, her daughter in law Maureen Cohen and her son Bernard S. Cohen, Jr. Miriam and Bernard celebrated 56 years of marriage. They raised their son in Glenolden where they lived in their forever home. The loss of their grandson, Mark was a very deep loss to Miriam and family.

Miriam enjoyed her relationship with her granddaughter Bernadette Cohen greatly as she was a strong grandparent to both Mark and Bernadette. In her later years, she enjoyed her time with Bernadette as a companion and confidant.
