Our dear Mum, MURIEL ROSA FOSSEN, beloved wife of the late Stanley Fossen, passed away quietly at home in Lethbridge, on Tuesday, December 25, 2018 at the age of 95 years.
Mum grew up in England and during WWII, joined the ATS, Signal Corps. She met the love of her life at a dance while they were both stationed in Wick, Scotland. At the end of the war, Mum became a War Bride, embarking on the journey across the Atlantic to Canada. Mum and Dad were married for 67 years and they built a loving home and raised four children. We learned very early on that family came first and Mum was happiest when surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Dad passed in 2012 and Mum was lonely without him. We are sad to see her go and will miss her, but she got her Christmas wish to be with Dad.
Her legacy includes: daughter Pam (Doug) Mundell and children Mark (Kathy), Steve (Kelly), Scott (Annamaria) and Matt; sons Neal (Fern) and children Jennifer (John) Warren and Stephanie Parko; Ken (Connie) and children Philip (Bruno) and Jason (Jessica); Brian (Wendy) and children Clayton (Stephanie), Ryan (Brittany) and Sarah (Steve); as well as 18 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother-in-law Bernard (Elsie) Fossen and numerous nieces and nephews.
Besides her loving husband, Stanley, Muriel was predeceased by her parents Reuben and Daisy Mynard, sister Olive Walker, brother-in-law Dale Walker and many close relatives.
A Memorial Service will be held at ST. AUGUSTINE'S ANGLICAN CHURCH, 411 - 11 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, January 5, 2019 at 1:00 P.M. with Reverend Canon James Robinson officiating. A Private Interment will be held at the Northern Lights Cemetery in Edmonton at a later date.
