Muriel is survived by her step children, Linda Clark, Alan Johnstone, Cindy Laprade and Melissa Lapensée, 11 step grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. She was also the cherished Aunt Moo of Richard, Caryl and Jim Becksted and Jane Smith.

Muriel was born and raised in Morrisburg, Ontario. She was the youngest of four children of the late Matthew and Emma (nee Deeks) Becksted. She is predeceased by all her siblings, Clare (Ruthine) 1982, Dwight (Eileen) 2013, and Eleanor (2013). She is also predeceased by her first husband, Hubert Henderson (1970).

Our Lord and Saviour has now called her home.
