She was born October 28, 1930, in Versailles, Ohio, to the late Elmer and H. Beatrice (Lallemand) Dapore. On February 5, 1953, at St. Michael Catholic Church in Fort Loramie, Miriam married Jerome Slonkosky who preceded her in death on March 1, 1998.

She was preceded in death by two sons, Joseph and (infant) Jeffrey Slonkosky; brothers & sisters-in-law: Frank Boerger, John Slonkosky, and Peg & Millard "Press" Presser.
