The magic began in Pineville, KY., October 7th, 1954. The cute baby born to Conley and Anna Mae Hensley was the first in the bunch that would later include sisters Sandra, Marlene, Rhonda and a brother Allen. General Motors would bring them all to Michigan where M was a sought-after catch at Avondale High School in Oakland County. But a debilitating muscle disease called polymyositis would require hospitalization and home care with aggressive treatments. She met and married the father of her children at school, but Bradley and Emily Trammel were happy when a new guy became the head of their new family household. In 1985, their mother was available for the guy who would be with Miranda through thick and thin, many more medical and other challenges. It was her incredible fortitude and stamina that readied her for many special, once in a life time events w theirs a wonderful paring. Bill Proctor and Miranda married in May of 1986, honeymooned in New York City and the Bahamas. Dinners and dancing with friends, music concerts with many artists, Broadway shows and travel to Las Vegas and elsewhere made the fun times special. Her warm smile and kind heart made their lives together wonderful.

She was the complete woman, dedicated to finding, and living the best life in surroundings that made us who were in her life proud. Proud of his work, she was supportive of her husbands role as reporter, investigator, and justice advocate.
For 33 years, Bill was a journalist at WXYZ-TV news in Detroit, starting in the spring of 1980. Miranda met him when he'd been on the high-profile job for about five years. There was, for her, a bit of a surprise when they were for a time a target of the gossip columnists when they became a "public" couple in 1985, but the biting words from newspaper writers didn't stop their love from ignoring the early BS and other challenges that would follow.
Her support made his career worthwhile, especially when the retired reporter won freedom for the innocent in prison. Before she fell ill this last time, she met Ray Gray and his wife, and celebrated with the world his freedom after 48+ years of wrongful conviction and incarceration. So when, in retirement, he was inducted into broadcast and journalism Halls of Fame, Bill said the honors really belong to Miranda who was always there with a smile and appreciation of what they were together. Here is part of the video ceremony of 2021.
