Muriel Hughes
1961-2020
It is with great sadness that the family of Muriel Hughes
announces her sudden passing, which occurred on Saturday, October
24th, 2020 at the Saint John Regional Hospital.
Born in Sus, NB, on May 9, 1961, she was the daughter of Clarence
and the late Frances (Duplisea) Urquhart. A loving mother, daughter,
sister, and friend, Muriel was remarkable in every sense of the word.
At 59 years of age, her time on this earth was much too short but
after a second battle with cancer, she was ready to pass from this
life to the next. While we wish we had more time with her, and that
things could have been different, we are deeply grateful for the
memories made together.
Muriel was an artist. She was happiest when she was creating
and was always dreaming up new projects, from sewing and painting, to
playing guitar and songwriting. Whether she was working on an oil
painting or collecting pieces from nature, she had a way of making the
most unadorned things in life seem so beautiful. Like much of the art
she created, Muriel was vivacious and full of life. Her kind eyes and
bright smile could light up a room and no matter the situation, she
was always ready to help those around her. We will miss her big heart,
her generosity, and her unconditional love.
Muriel is survived by her children: Jessica and Daniel Hughes
of Belleisle, NB; brothers: Barry Urquhart and his wife Debbie of
Quispamsis, NB and Kevin Urquhart and his wife Rosilee of Kars, NB;
sisters: Heather Hughes and her husband Gordie of Midland, NB, Adrian
Boyd and her husband Gary of Red Deer, AB, Jane Belyea and her husband
Brad of Kingston, NB and Nancy Urquhart of Kars, NB; father of her
children and lifelong friend Ron Hughes as well as many nieces,
nephews and extended family.

Norton, NB. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, October 28, 2020
from 2 to 4 & 6 to 8PM from Outreach Pentecostal Church, 2129
