Muriel was born to Mark and Elsie Collier on a farm near Wilton, Iowa on January 22, 1928. She attended Sunnyside Country School, then Wilton public schools graduating in 1945.

Over the years, Muriel’s family lived in Ames and Nevada; State College, Pa.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Washington, D.C. Columbia, Mo.; and Boulder, Co. At the time of her death, she lived at The Village in Indianola. We will be reminded of Muriel when we see wildflowers in bloom, a hummingbird at the feeder, someone sewing or quilting, a seeker studying scripture and other religious publications, crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, women studying in small groups or someone wearing purple. She will also come to mind when we smill bread baking and when we think of large family meals, often with international students included,k or when we see a person being present in a special way to another in need and being available and supportive of others. Her smily brightened the day for everyone. Muriel is survived by her husband, Gordon, and by four children: Dale (Maria), Carol, Brucde (Judy), and Paul (rosanna). She also leaves seven grandchildren: Daniel, Shanna (Sebastian), Derek, Molly, Matthew (& his mother, Leann), Melissa, and Delaney.
