I am so sorry to have missed this special life celebration. Muriel was a Wonder Woman. Never once did I worry when she was working on a show I stage managed. Loved by all

Lady Muriel...forever a Lady! You will be missed!
She was such a lovely lady! I have been blessed by knowing her as a neighbour for the past eight years. May she reap her eternal reward!
I'm truly sorry to hear about Muriel's passing. I can still hear her voice in the makeup room as she patiently 'did our hair' for our performances. She'd always have funny family stories to share with us to calm our nerves. My deepest sympathy to friends and family.... Cori Arthur

I have known Muriel since she started with the Northumberland Players. It was always a pleasure talking with her then and whenever I happened to run into her socially. She was a kind, lovely person and I will miss her.My heart-felt condolences to her family.
The death of such a soul as Muriel White leaves the world a less beautiful place. During my 35+ years in Cobourg, I had the deep privilege of knowing Muriel and Roly very well through my years of involvement with the Northumberland Players and my many opportunities to collaborate with the Cobourg Concert Band. Muriel always spoke softly, but what she said always demonstrated her warmth, kindness and willingness to contribute so much to the success of all those around her. I know few other people who always seemed to have a positive outlook on the world around her, no matter the personal challenges she may have faced. A more gentle, supportive woman is hard to imagine. She will live in the memory of the multitudes of people she touched through her life.
We remember Muriel with great affection & were glad that she was able to visit us in 2013 when she came to England with Meeghan. Our sympathy goes out to Meeghan & Brent who were so special to her.Our son, Martin, and his wife will be attending the funeral.June (who was her cousin) and Robert Beacher.
Muriel has been a great lady to know. We shall miss her calls and our outings very much. You will for ever go camping with us in our hearts. Good bye dear friend. We are so sad for her family and her other friends, we will all miss her.

Muriel will be missed by the many actors who wore her wonderful hairstyles on stage. She entertained us in the Green Room with her stories and educated many young actors about styling their hair appropriately for the period. I will also miss her humour at the table. What a life she led until the end!
So sad to hear of the passing of this gracious lady.42
I met Muriel over thirty years ago while doing a theatrical performance at Greenwood Tower Inn in Port Hope. Over the years we worked together on many shows.When I visited Muriel recently, as always, she was upbeat, positive, friendly, polite and a true lady.My condolences to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. All of us will miss her.
