She was pre deceased by her parents, 1 brother, 3 sisters: husband David Ross Ferguson on Nov. 6 1985, son David Lorne Ferguson on Oct. 8 1978, grandson Gregory Brent Stafford August 21, 1966. Her second husband Roy Bryan Zipse in February 2008. Muriel was born Feb. 28, 1911 in Vancouver, B.C. and spent her early years on the family homestead at Stoughton, Saskatchewan and Vancouver B.C. In 1919 her father established a blacksmith shop in Stettler, Alberta where the Todds resided until 1949. She attended school in Stettler, and teacher’s training in Camrose in 1928-29. She was a skater, hockey player, excelled in elocution, music, choir. She attended CGIT summer camps and enjoyed outdoors, gardening, berry picking and picnics. A graduate of the Camrose Normal School in 1929 she was among the brave young teachers who ventured to country one-room schools, teaching at Byemoor and Monitor, Alberta until her marriage in 1933 to David Ross Ferguson. Teaching gave way to the duties of a farmer’s wife and mother. They farmed in the Cornucopia district of east central Alberta. .Muriel was also active in the rural community, contributing her time and talents to many local groups. In 1945 the family moved to Lacombe to operate a farm machinery and automobile dealership, and became active in many community organizations, school and church groups, Rebecca Lodge, Hospital Auxiliary, and later the Cozy Corner. She worked for many years in the office of the Lacombe Hospital. Muriel will be missed tremendously by her family and friends, those who provided her greatest joy. Her life was defined by love of family and relationships with others - she was a ‘people person’ and celebrated the successes and achievements of others with gladness. A caring nature, unwavering faith, inquiring mind and creative abilities colored her life.......... as well as of those she touched. er life had many paths - fueled by curiosity and adventure her travels included several trips to Australia and New Zealand, England, Scotland, Europe, Caribbean, Asia, most of the U. S., Hawaii, all of Canada., resulting in volumes of photographs, new ‘pen pals’ and continuing long distance friendships. In her determination to preserve the past and honor her roots, she began in 1981 to research and document the Todd-Hudson/Ferguson Duncan family histories. This legacy is a treasure she willing shared with many, and strengthened connections with families geographically dispersed, and which is a continuing to tribute today.
