Larson, Muriel Grace
Muriel Grace Larson, a beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend, left us to join the angels on July 23, 2024, passing away peacefully with three of her cherished children by her side.
Muriel’s life journey began in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, where she grew up in a lively household with her mom, dad, and ten siblings. Her early years were filled with the love and camaraderie that come with being part of such a large family. In her teens, Muriel moved to British Columbia, where she would meet and marry her sweetheart, Carl Edward Larson. Together, they built a beautiful family, blessed with seven children, raising six of them in the close-knit community of Canal Flats, BC.
Muriel was a woman of extraordinary kindness, love, and devotion. She dedicated herself wholeheartedly to her children, nurturing them with endless patience and unwavering support. Her generous spirit extended beyond her family; she was a true friend to all who knew her, always ready with a helping hand and a warm smile.
Her love for the outdoors was evident in her passion for activities like golfing, curling, swimming, and skiing. Muriel’s artistic talents were many and varied. She had a knack for painting, crafting, and scrapbooking, creating beautiful works that will be treasured by those she left behind. An exceptional seamstress, crocheter, knitter, and cross-stitcher, her hands brought to life countless items of beauty and comfort.
Muriel’s life was not without its trials, sorrows, and losses. Yet, through it all, she remained strong and true to her faith, a testament to her resilient spirit and unwavering belief. Her strength and grace in the face of adversity were an inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Muriel Grace Larson will be remembered for her boundless love, her artistic gifts, and her enduring faith. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of her family and friends, and in the many lives she touched with her kindness and generosity.
Rest in peace, dear Muriel. You will be deeply missed, but your spirit will forever shine brightly in our memories.
