Muriel was so loved by her family. She was one of twenty-first cousins in the Bears extended family. She asked me to take a picture of a cabin her parents (Clara Faye and Chester Barton) had built on Gypsy Creek in the Big Belt Mountains. I spoke with some of the older cousins that remembered that cabin. This was an awesome memory for me.
Prayers for her family from me and my family.

Muriel was always such a a kind and pleasant lady whenever you were in the flint creek valley bank. I am saddened to hear of her passing. I am filled with joy to know she was surrounded with family at the time of her passing. I have to say her kindness was passed on to all of those she raised and interacted with. I know her children and grandchildren will miss this gentle voice until reunited with her and Ron. Run with the ANGELS Muriel you are one
