The family enjoyed time together camping with the Schoeppel's and special times each summer in Cannon Beach with the Schwartz family.

When at home Muriel found pleasure planning gatherings with her many friends and family or sharing in the dessert making's for the Old F*rts Club and was always ready for music with The Garage Boys on Saturday nights. Never without a craft whether it is ceramics or card making or an evening watching Wheel of Fortune with knitting in lap, while baking brownies, or with coffee cup and cookie in hand visiting friends, was Muriel never idle for long.
