EDWARDS, Muriel

1949 - 2023

We sadly announce the passing of Muriel Brenda Edwards (Nee Downie) of Englehart On. Muriel passed away at her home on Friday April 28th 2023 with her loving husband Wayne at her side and the age of 73 years old.

Pre- deceased by her parents Robert (Bob) & Lorna (Nee Lockett) Downie, brother Bruce & Jim Downie.

Muriel is survived by her husband Wayne, two sons Ryan (Bobbi), Lee (Sara) Edwards and Daughter Sherry (Chris) Bembridge as well as 8 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Muriel followed in her fathers footsteps with a fulfilling career with Ontario Northland railway beginning in 1968 and retiring as a Senior Principal Clerk in 2004.

She enjoyed retirement to the fullest spending time with her husband and children at their family property in Marter township and their little slice of heaven on Lake St Anthony.

Muriel had a passion for many things from gardening, staining, flowers, her animals, cottage life, baking (which was second to none) and whatever shiny new toy the kids would show up with. She was a very proud parent. Muriel will be greatly missed and will always be remembered as an absolutely beautiful person inside and out, may she rest in peace.

I am so saddened by the news of Muriel’s passing. My deepest sympathies to you Wayne and your family. Muriel was a good friend when I was working the 4-12 shift in the dispatching office and our chats about old times, kids and computers was great company. She will surely be missed.

Bill and I just received the sad news of Muriel’s passing in a letter from Sandra Downie. Much too young to die with so many enjoyable years ahead of her! Bill was Muriel’s cousin as his Mother was Brenda Webster (Downie- her Aunt). I believe we met many years ago in Englehart and knew she worked for the ONR like many of Bill’s relatives. We send our deepest condolences to all of you.
