She helped form her local Red Hat Ladies Chapter and was affectionately known as the "Queen Mother".
Muriel's extreme love of music was evidenced through her involvement in many musical endeavors by singing in the choir for multiple years and harmonizing whenever she had the opportunity. She was a school room mother. Muriel found much joy in arts and crafts, scrap booking, painting, gardening and reading mysteries. She loved to play scrabble and other board games with her family. Muriel loved animals and babies. She was the "go-to mom" for her children and their friends and she loved all without hesitation. She regularly taught about the importance of faith and a personal relationship with God. Most of all she was a devoted and cherished companion and wife and loved to dance the jitterbug with her husband Bud. Muriel will always be remembered for being young at heart and her love of life.
