Dennis Couzens (YMCA Past Staff & Volunteer) - I met Muriel about 1990, when she came to the Y for Aquafit Classes. She came with a few neighbors (one being Margret Podilsky, and one other)
I recruited her to be an Aquafit Instructor/volunteer. She really enjoyed participating in the instruction and training to keep her skills up. She was a positive force in the pool - showing others that older adults could give back & had lots to offer. She lead by example & encouraged others to join the volunteer ranks ( Katie Dueck, Keith Ziegler, Harold Tatler)
She instructed for about 25 years, until her health took a turn. She was a joy to partner with to make the Y a place for all. I was never able to convince Bill to participate.
She will be missed and remembered
