Captain Miranda Vivian Carol Duskin of Cadillac was Promoted to Glory on Tuesday, December 10, 2019 at Munson Healthcare Cadillac Hospital. She was 40. Miranda was born September 3, 1979 in Chicago, Illinois to Jonathan Edwin and Linda Gayle (Carlson) Fjellman. She moved several times through her childhood with The Salvation Army and graduated from Escanaba High School. Miranda went on to earn her bachelor's degree in Economics and International Trade Development from the University of Minnesota spending her last semester abroad, in Ecuador. After her time there she attended The Salvation Army Seminary in Chicago. Miranda loved God, life and people. Her missionary heart, testimony and witness to others will leave a lasting impact on people worldwide. She spoke several languages; which gave her the unique ability to mentor to people around the world. She had the spiritual gift of discernment. She was always on the move and desired to connect with others. One way Miranda did so was to collect in- line roller skates then proceed to teach youth group members and teens how to roller blade while giving them a pair. She was creative, adventurous and enjoyed serving the Lord, traveling and thrift shopping. Her greatest joy in life were her children and family. On June 23, 2006 in Maplewood, Minnesota she married Captain Robert C.
