Muriel was raised in Durban, South Africa where she met and married the late Edward George Archer. They divorced in the early 70's. Muriel had a career in Music singing Opera both professionally and as a hobby. She was involved in her church, Greyville Presbyterian where she spent many hours of her free time. She worked for the City of Durban for many years before retiring and moving back to the United States to be with her Daughter and Son-in-law.
During her retirement years she worked for Polk County and Walt Disney World. She loved her weekend job at Walt Disney helping young ladies pick out their perfect Princess outfit. She had many hobbies which included cross stitch, sewing and knitting. When she was still able she enjoyed singing in the Candlelight Processional at Epcot.
Muriel was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother who volunteered many hours at her grandsons school both in the classroom and at home with projects.

Muriel will be remembered for her strength of character, her unconditional love, and her kindness to others.
