Muriel Shephard (1933 to 2024) passed away very peacefully with her daughters Rachel and Sarah by her side on Tuesday, Aug.13.
In reflecting upon her life, Muriel frequently said that moving to Squamish was "the best move we ever made" and that the 26 years she spent here were her happiest.
She and Roy were welcomed, from the moment they arrived, to the church community, the Squamish Environment Society, Howe Sound Performing Arts, the Historical Society, the Tantalus walking group and the Seniors’ Centre.
She often commented on the friendship and support of neighbours and community members and–especially as she grew older–these connections sustained her and gave her much joy.
Muriel passed away in a spirit of deep gratitude for a long life richly filled with opportunities and blessings, learning and adventure, and most of all, warm friendships and much laughter.
You are warmly invited to attend an informal, drop-in Celebration of Life for Muriel. The gathering will be held on Sunday Aug. 25 at 41390 Dryden Rd. from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
