Muriel loved her job as a federal government employee of the United States Army. She received many awards and commendations during her tenure and was very proud of the work she did supporting our soldiers and government.
She loved her many vacations to locations such as Hawaii, Canada, Bermuda, Bahamas, Las Vegas, Florida, Niagara Falls, and the 1,000 island region of New York. She easily made friends and is known as a loving, giving and kind-hearted woman. One time during a vacation a women she befriended admired her shirt and Muriel later gave her that shirt.
She was always ready to laugh and enjoy life, regardless of hardships that came her way. Not one to complain, she was strong and steady and quick to give comfort to others, not asking for it herself. She loved to read books, do crossword puzzles, knit, travel, listen to country music, and watch old games shows on TV. She loved her family with all her heart and soul. She will be missed.
