Muriel Stowe

Age 88 Years

Muriel Joyce Stowe (Goodings) Age 88 of Miniota Manitoba, dies peacefully this week at the Virden Hospital.

Muriel was predeceased by her husband George A. Stowe of Miniota, Manitoba and will be buried by his side in the Miniota Cemetery. She was also predeceased by her Grand-daughter Cheryl Leonard, who passed away 6 years ago, March 13. 

Muriel is survived by her daughters Ernestine Sepke (Richard), Mildred Leonard (Ron), Margaret McDonald and her son Ernest Stowe of Miniota. She leaves 5 grandchildren, Cora La Pierre (Sepke) husband Grant, Clayton Sepke, wife Therese, Karen Wotherspoon (Leonard) husband Peter, Angela Lawson (McDonald) husband Terry, and Chelsea McDonald. She also loved to boast about all her Great Grandchildren, Gabriel, Grace & Elizabeth Wortherspoon, Nadege Waffi, Nieander, Nelwynah Sepke, Gemma & Callie Lawson.

Muriel leaves a legacy of gardening, knitting, sewing and baking which were some of her favorite hobbies in her later years, although they were all necessities while she was raising her 4 children.  Her flowerbeds were always brilliant with color, and she loved to share her cinnamon buns with all her neighbors, and her grandchildren were all kept warm in sweaters and quilts. 

She had a giving heart and despite her failing health in the past few years, was living in her own home and taking care of all her daily needs. She will be sincerely missed by her family, and by all her dear friends in the community that she made when she and George retired back to Miniota in 1984.

A private interment service will be held at the Miniota Cemetery.  For those so desiring, donations may be made in Muriel’s memory to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation, 675 McDermot Ave Rm ON1160, Winnipeg, MB, R3E 9Z9 (www.cancercarefdn.mb.ca) or to the Virden Pet Network, Box 925,Virden, MB, R0M 2C0 (www.virdenpetnetwork.org).

Psalm 23

"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; 

Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. 

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; 

and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
