Obituary of Muriel Irene Etmanski

Muriel Etmanski passed peacefully in Cranbrook with her family by her side after a brief illness at 89 years of age on Wednesday, June 5, 2013.

Muriel was born on November 16, 1923 in Aberdeen, Scotland. She was a fun loving, strong little lady who loved her family and enjoyed sharing many happy times with them. She was a war bride, and followed her husband and her baby son to Canada. They settled in Riondel and lived there for many years.

She leaves behind her three children Judy (Bill) Dortman, Geri (Eugene) McCulloch and David (Evelyn) Etmanski; grandchildren Rhonda, Shawn, Patrick, Fern, Heather and Derek, great grandchildren Ashley, Claya, Amanda, Jake, Nicole, Breanna, Dallan, Greyson, Bradley and Bennett. She was predeceased by her husband Ambrose Sylvester "Paddy" Etmanski and her infant son Alexander.

We would like to thank everyone at Joseph Creek, Commitment To Care and the East Kootenay Regional Hospital for their compassionate care and support. Also many thanks to Dr. McIvor and the other physicians who cared for Muriel over the years.
