Just shy of her 82nd birthday. Peacefully at “Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre”, Cobourg, after a hard fought battle against cancer. Muriel leaves behind her loving husband of sixty years, Bob, of Cobourg, and her adored son Rob (Chris), of Elora. The family are devastated by her loss. Muriel is pre-deceased by her parents, Walton and Gertrude, and as well as sister Beverley, brother Donnie (Angie of Barrie) and sister Eunice (Gilbert, also pre-deceased). Muriel, also known as Mu, Momma Mu and Aunt Mu, is also survived by many dear brother and sisters-in-law, and much loved nieces and nephews. Muriel, a former secretary at Camborne Public School, loved watching the children grow and enjoyed catching up with the school parents throughout the years. Muriel was such a special lady who loved to laugh a lot, cook too much and make entertaining look so easy. Her love of Christmas makes this time of year so heartbreaking. She could strike up a conversation with anyone and would walk away with a smile on her beautiful face. Bob and Muriel were fortunate to travel throughout the years and would often venture off with Mu as the trusted co-pilot. That also gave her the opportunity to shop, which she looked forward to so much. Muriel was such a good sport and would go anywhere on a whim, just give her a minute to put her lipstick on. Muriel was the planner and organizer that we quietly relied on, and she could remember special dates like no one else. We will miss her big, caring heart, her sense of humour and her laugh. We are going to be so lost without her. Heartfelt thanks go out to friends and neighbours who dropped off food to Bob and Rob, and all those who checked in with a caring text or email. And let us not forget the kindness of Dr. Mule and the wonderful, angelic caregivers at “Ed’s House” who supported Muriel and her family throughout this journey. As per Muriel’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will take place in the Spring of 2023. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre, or a charity of your choice.
