Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryMURIEL E. EMBURY Born 1924 and passed away peacefully in her sleep March 16, 2019 at Misericordia Place. She is survived by her son Robert, four grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews in Canada and abroad. She was predeceased by her husband John and son David. Muriel was born and raised in Newport, Isle of Wight, England. She met and married her husband John in 1944. At the time he stationed with Canadian troops in England. At the end of the Second World War, he returned to Canada and subsequently was followed by his War Bride and their son. They settled in Winnipeg and bought a wartime house in Transcona. A few years later, a second son David joined the family. They remained in that house until health issues made them take up residence in a senior's condominium. They lived there until John passed away. After a period of time Muriel took up residence in a care home, Misericordia Place. The family sincerely thanks the staff of Misericordia Place (MP2) for their thoughtful care and attention to Muriel while she was residing there. Muriel was a loving, caring and helpful person whether it involved family or friends. Following cremation she will be laid to rest alongside her husband and son in the Transcona cemetery. In accordance with her wishes there will be no ceremony. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to the Misericordia Foundation directed to long-term care.

So many memories of time spent together, Bobby, so very long ago. Your mom and my dad lived well into their senior years. I can still see and hear your mom's accent and lovely smile. Just wanted to reach out to you to let you know that we do remember your mom, fondly. Sending hugs, Marsha and Garry - Posted by: Marsha (Potter) Notley (childhood friend) on: Mar 24, 2019

Robert, my sincere sympathy at the passing of your Mother. For the brief time I knew her, she was kind, thoughtful & a roving history book. She liked to talk about her life in England & her journey to Canada to start a new life. She would tell me about the beautiful cloths she use to sew. I met Muriel in the summer of 2013 & she always talked about turning 90 the next year & what a milestone that would be. We would joke about how her meals always had to be on the 'petite' side. May she rest in peace with her beloved husband John & son David. Theresa Graham - Posted by: Theresa Graham (Former Rehab Patient) on: Mar 23, 2019

I got to know Muriel & John through a friend of mine. They were the most wonderful couple I have ever known. I always looked forward to my visit with them. Muriel became a mentor & a Very Dear Friend of mine. I was so fortunate to have her in my life. I know that she will be happier with her dear husband John & son David. I will miss my visits with her. My deepest sympathies & condolences to her family, I will never forget her. Hugs to the family. Lea. - Posted by: Lea Menard (A Very Dear Friend to John & Muriel) on: Mar 23, 2019
