On April 22 2017, our goldengirl Muriel May (Henderson) Scott, slipped peacefully from a room filled with sunlight, music and love, turning a page in a story which began in Chateauguay, Quebec, in 1924. She now joins Roland, her truest friend for almost 60 years
With an engaging personality, Muriel exercised intellect, compassion, and entrepreneurial skills through a long and varied career in the nursing field including work in hospitals, Public Health, nursing education at both North York General Hospital and Bethesda School for Nursing Assistants and finally as a developer and principal of Hospital Nursing Service. All done while raising a family in Welland and later Toronto.

A lover of music, art and fitness, Muriel also exercised her body long before aerobics was a common phrase. This explains her vibrant health, active lifestyle and sharp mind, still gardening and attending weekly Aquafit classes at the Granite Club into her 90’s, and still able to be the life of the party. Her extended family and close friends remained her most passionate pursuit. She was at her best one on one, pouring out wine, or tea for the younger set, while pouring out sage advice to her listeners, willing or unwilling.
The story doesn’t end here, it just blends into the next chapter for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren whom she nurtured, physically, mentally and emotionally until her last days. We can hold you no longer, but will love you forever. Lovingly missed by Peter (Brenda), Michael (Hedy), Patricia (Bo) and Stephen (Rishma), and grandchildren Andrew, Josh, Kaitlin, Darcy, Logan, Daulton, Nicholas, Kira, and Aden as well as many friends who shared her wine and wisdom.
