She inspired all with her deep faith and devotion, and generous support of her church and other causes. Special thanks to her physician and family friend Dr. Randy Hart for going above and beyond in providing care, and to the staff of Tiffany Village for their support.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. Your parents were wonderful hosts to us when we visited Newfoundland, and it was great to meet with so many of the family for a great evening of music and laughs during our stay! Most importantly, we know that Muriel and our Mom Margaret were the best of friends. The two of them were truly soul sisters. No doubt your parents and ours (Marg and Bill) are enjoying a great reunion together. There is sure to be dancing!!! Love, Bruce and Karen and family oxox

Dear Carter and Baker families of Muriel: I am so sorry to learn of Moolie’s death. Our families have been connected for decades. She has gone home to God and to join her family and friends who have gone on before her. She has left her family a strong legacy rich in faith and love . There are no words to ease the pain of loss but to know that others care. I regret I am not in the province to attend the wake and funeral services. My condolences to each of you.
