Mikala was a very vibrant young lady. You could often catch her making a funny face or doing something silly to make you laugh. Fun, loving and caring are the perfect words to describe her personality. She enjoyed going to the Elma Manor Nursing Home to play cards with the residents, which included her grandma, Muriel Reetz. Mikala also loved animals, music, and Harley Davidsons. Riding with her aunt, uncle and cousin were some of her favorite memories. Mikala is survived by her mother, Deanna Titus of Charles City, IA; maternal grandmother, Muriel Reetz of Elma, IA; two uncles, Mike (Jodi) Reetz of Charles City, IA and Stacy (Jen) Reetz of Appleton, WI; two aunts, LeAnn (Dave) Durnan of New Hampton, IA and Lauri Reetz of Floyd, IA; many cousins; two fur babies, Muffin and Peanut.
