Must, of Huntington Woods.
Though her illness made it
difficult for her to cope with
the normal struggles of young
adulthood, she found commu-
nities that accepted her loving,
outgoing nature.
Miya attended Western
State Colorado University in
Gunnison, Colorado, where
she eventually settled and ran
a yoga studio, The Yoga Room.
She relished the small-town life,
the mountains, skiing and other
forms of recreation.
She was sensitive to those
who felt isolated or perceived
themselves as outliers, and she
touched many lives during a
short period of time, her family
said. Even as she struggled with
her own demons, she tried to
help others, bringing together
the area’s other fitness business
owners to accomplish various
goals.
She loved animals and vol-
unteered with the Gunnison
Valley Animal Welfare League.
After her death, a gift from her
family in her memory helped
that organization build a new
shelter.
Miya’s mother, Monni Must,
a portrait photographer in
Sylvan Lake, said her suicide
was such a shock because the
family thought she was able to
recognize when she was head-
ing in the wrong direction and
seek help. “She was the most
together/untogether woman I’ve
ever known,
” said Monni, who
is married to Mary’s son Joel.

Kadima’s Miya Must Home
has many of Miya’s personal
belongings, including a kitchen
table, chairs and pieces of her
artwork. One of the residents
is a man who knew Miya as a
girl. “She would be so grateful
and proud that she has helped
and protected him,
” said Monni
Must, who has befriended the
man. “His family feels grateful
and relieved that their son and
brother is in a place where he is
safe,
” she added.
Mary Must adored her
granddaughter and got involved
with Kadima as a way of gener-
ating some good from a horrific
event, said Monni, who also
helps the organization by taking
photos of the residents and staff.
“JVS+Kadima is immensely
grateful for Ms. Must’s contin-
ued generosity and the support
of generations of the Must fami-
ly,
” said Paul Blatt, president and
CEO of JVS+Kadima.
“With this gift, Ms. Must has
allowed JVS+Kadima to invest
in improving our homes in a
meaningful way. In particular,
we have immediate plans to
renovate a bathroom, address
kitchen ventilation and fix a
concrete driveway — and that’s
just the start!”

niques and have made
