It gave her great pleasure to knit and crochet beautiful things for family and friends. At 90, her last creations were prayer shawls. Her smile, her sense of humour and her amazing faith in God are what made Muriel who she was. A beautiful lady. Muriel will be sadly missed by all, never forgotten and will live on in the lives she touched. She was the hub of the family and worked to keep our lives intertwined.
