Muriel was an active and longtime resident of Glentworth and Thomson Lake. She embraced life and enjoyed travelling, spending winters in Arizona, visiting with friends near and far and playing crib for two bits a game. In recent years, as her vision diminished, she knitted hundreds of pairs of slippers and headbands while watching curling and cheering on the Blue Jays. She cherished fellowship within the community at Queen Victoria and enjoyed many activities with her "Queen Vic Sisters." Muriel approached life with adventure, curiosity, humor, and with profound faith in the Lord. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.  In lieu of sorrow, she would want you to express love to those you cherish, never postpone joy and take one day at a time.
