Muriel Jeannette Blaney née Fraiser

Muriel Jeannette Blaney née Fraiser passed away peacefully on Sept. 18 at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich in her 80th year.

 

The loving wife of the late William Blaney, Muriel was the mother of Gloria Workman, Glenda (Rick) Rankin and Jamie Workman.
She was the former spouse of the father of her children, Harold Workman, and stepmother of Debbie Sullens, Mark Blaney and Bill Blaney.

 

Muriel was the grandmother of Ashlea, Curtis, Marlea, Evan, Amy and Leah and the great-grandmother of 11.

 

She was the sister of Arthur Fraiser, Jack Fraiser, Bill Fraiser, Doug Fraiser, Dorothy Devitt, Helen Radford, Ruth Rintoul, Jean McNaughton, Cecile Leeming, Mary Weick, Barbara Bennewies, Edna Gingrich and Audrey Cudmore.

 

Muriel was a caring, generous, compassionate and feisty lady. She loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them. 

 

She was most proud of her work at the Vernon Fanning Auxiliary Hospital in Calgary, Alberta, where she worked for 27 years, caring for older people in the neurological rehabilitation unit. 

 

Her best friends were Fran from Calgary and her chocolate lab Kayla. Her greatest pleasure was preparing and serving delicious meals for family and friends. Her wonderful culinary creations will be missed.

 

Friends and family are invited to the Anglican Parish of the Holy Spirit Church, Seaforth on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 2 p.m. for Muriel’s celebration of life service.
