I have many fond memories of my sister in law, Muriel. I was quite young when she joined our family as she married my oldest brother who was 19 years older than me. When I was young she always called me Emma Sue although that was not my middle name. I remember her trying to curl my straight hair without too much luck.
The picture I posted of her & Jan was taken at my house and that was the last time I saw her.
I'm sure she is rejoicing in Heaven & being with Bill once again. Rest in Peace Muriel

My mother Sharon Hatfield asked me to share her thoughts about Aunt Muriel. Muriel married the oldest Hatfield brother while Mom married the youngest. Mom says that no matter what, Muriel always had time for a visit from our family and always made us feel welcome. ❤️
As for me, I will never forget the summer Auntie invited me to stay with them for a week, where my days were filled with swimming and canoeing in the lake behind their house, and my cousin Mark taught me how to throw a knife. Years later when I was packing Mom’s things up for her move to Florida, Auntie showed up with cleaning supplies and offered to help. She also made what she called a nourishing soup for us that night. Auntie always looked for ways she could make others’ lives a little better.

I remember Auntie Muriel always feeding us kids. I didn’t eat all the food she offered, but she always tried. She was a lovely sweet woman, that meant well for all of us. I’ll never forget that long walk my sisters and I took one summer, and we all stopped at aunt muriels house where she tried to feed us old cookies !! Nothing went to waste with her. She was an amazing aunt.

When I was younger and lived in SC, as kids and teens we always visited our auntie. She kept all her visitors well fed, well entertained with her funny stories, or just chasing my twin sister and I around to cut our bangs! I can remember hiding under her front porch so she wouldn’t put the scotch tape on my bangs and cut above the tape to make my bangs more straight, she said! When she had already cut my twin sister’s bangs, and had finally given up on finding me, I would re-emerge for cookies and milk! As I got older, that turned into tea! I remember one cold winter we lost power at our house during a storm, so mom sent us to Auntie’s to keep us warm! Auntie had these stand alone heaters in some of the rooms of her house. I had one in the room she put me in to sleep, and I remember thinking, we are always warm and cared for at Auntie’s. I loved the warmth that heater provided, but I do remember Auntie warning me not to knock it over, so it was a safe distance from the bed in which I slept. The bed was very cozy with many blankets, and I remember many times being thankful to have an auntie like her. As I grew older, past my teen years into young adulthood, I remember some of us joking about the hardened cookies she would serve, or the many canned goods she would never let go to waste! It was friendly joking because she was always such a lovely host, and never allowed any waste in her home, whether it was food, tin foil or plastic wrap. I remember her being very aware of how much she used and being certain not to be wasteful of anything. Throughout my younger and teen years, I had a close friend that lived on the same street as her, so a few times my friend and I would go visit Auntie while I was at my friends house. I remember visiting and staying with my Auntie throughout my childhood and teen years, and enjoying her company in my young adult years, up until I moved far away. I remember sending her flowers for Valentine’s Day one year, and I believe I was in my very early twenties at that time. I remember her calling me to thank me for the flowers. After this, auntie and I lost contact. She lived in SC, and I had moved to WA during that time, and had two of my own children by that time. I may have lost touch with her because of the distance and life’s twists and turns, but I have never forgotten her. She came to see me and my first born child, Mitchell, in the hospital. I can’t remember if she visited me when my daughter was born, but she was around when my two eldest children were born, in SC. If she didn’t see Aniastasia in the hospital, I know she came to see her at least once at home. I was living with my parents at the time, and I do remember auntie visiting at least once to meet my newborn daughter. I can’t remember that visit clearly, but I do remember my daughter’s birth having a great impact on her and her beliefs. Auntie was always very gentle and kind, and taught me many important life lessons as a teen and young adult. She was a strong, Christian woman and for a time, we attended the same church. I only wish that we had never lost touch, or that I had photos with her to remember her by. I have many memories with her, even back when she used to drive! I remember her older car, with the manual roll down windows, and digital speedometer that a lot of times didn’t work. It would just stay stuck on the double zeros no matter how fast she drove! Although I should say that most times she drove very, very slow. Only once in awhile would she drive fast, and it usually seemed to be by accident. I would sneak and crack a window because she kept that car so hot inside! We may have lost touch after that one time I sent her flowers for Valentine’s, in my early twenties after I moved to WA, but my auntie made a powerful impact on my life and I to this day remember how much I loved her, and how attentive she was with all us kids, and how in her later years she would make me laugh so hard when she would be walking with me, talking really loud about various topics, and be tooting all at the same time! I don’t think she noticed her tooting, & us girls would just giggle and continue walking with her. I think even once she asked us what was so funny? We just cracked up laughing all the more! So she really didn’t know! Auntie was the most amazing auntie ever, and the closest thing I ever had to any grandma I could remember. I remember her attending some of our birthday parties as young children after we had moved to SC. I called her Auntie, but to me, she really was my grandma. The only person in my life I ever had that was anything like a grandma I can remember. I remember her showing me photos of her from her younger years. In one of those photos she was all fixed up, dressed remarkably well, and was absolutely gorgeous and a most beautiful young woman in that photo! I was fascinated with her story telling, even if it came in bits and pieces during each visit. Auntie was the best auntie / grandma to me and my only regret is losing contact with her. She was a lovely, most welcoming, christian woman, and she always made me feel safe and well cared for. She will be forever remembered and missed.
