In 1987 Muriel and Lou bought a winter home in Florida where she made many new friends. She enjoyed bridge, walking, knitting, sewing and crossword puzzles. Her family was the most important thing to her. Muriel’s last years at Bethany were in her words, “The best place ever to retire”.

The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the nurses and staff at Bethany Home and Hospice of Dubuque for the love and care given to Muriel.
