Muriel Watson

February 29, 1944 - January 14, 2021

It is with profound sadness that we announce the loss of Muriel on January 14, 2021. Muriel was always the most loving, gracious and selfless woman there was. Always a Lady even to the end. Those that knew her, loved her and she left many friends behind. She managed to touch so many people’s lives with her grace, gentleness and beautiful personality. Muriel has been a wonderful partner of 58 years to her husband Bob and she will be missed dearly. Until they meet again. Partners forever. “Our Day Will-come”. Her daughter Mandy and husband Marlyn will always miss her guidance and loving support, as well as her wittiness that made many laugh. They are thankful that she and Dad chose to live with them for their twilight years. Her grandchildren Andrew, Benjamin and Dakota will always hold in their hearts, memories of the Best Gam ever and will feel the void in their lives. Her great-grandchild Jasper will know her through stories that we will tell. Muriel also leaves behind beloved extended family of Kerri and Rob, along with Wesley, Julia, Jack and Cate. Long-distance did not thwart the love she had for her siblings Lionel, Randall, Wesley, Maureen, Elaine, Donna and Eric Jr., and many other family members. A large and close knit family. Muriel will now rejoin her treasured mother and father, Bernadette and Eric, as well as her sister Susan and her beloved high-school friend Connie, as well as her longtime friend Reita. Maybe she’ll even meet her heartthrob Elvis! Muriel battled dementia and then kidney cancer of which complications arose. We are very thankful to have had her with us to the end. She passed peacefully at home while watching the squirrels play and the ducks in the river, with Bob holding her hand. Cremation has taken place. After the covid-19 pandemic, we will hold a small gathering both at home and in Quebec to honour her memory. Many, many thanks to the Alzheimer’s Society, Dr. Dulymamode, Dr. Safranyos, all of our treasured PSW’s and the Outreach Team. Donations may be made in her name to the Alzheimer’s Society. “Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin. Dance me through the panic til I'm gathered safely in. Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove. Dance me to the end of love. “. Leonard Cohen A song Elvis sang at his mother’s funeral seems fitting... The way she held your hand The little things you planned Her memory is with you yet That's someone you never forget When she is far away You'll think of her each day And you know she'll wait for you That's someone you never forget Rest In Peace. We love you. Bob, Mandy and Marlyn https://www.alzheimer.ca/en
