Obituary - Muriel (Wankel) George, 94, died Tuesday, August 3, 2010 in a Nampa, Idaho hospital after a short illness.
Muriel and her twin brother Merrill were born to Arthur and Mabel Wankel on December 6, 1915, in St. Paul, Minnesota, coincidentally one of the twin cities, while their parents were there to attend a national grain elevator convention. Muriel was raised on her parents' farm northeast of Raymond, Montana, and attended a country school, graduating from high school in Dooley, Montana. She then attended teacher's college in Dillon, Montana. Later, moving back, she taught at the Wankel School for a period of time.
Muriel married Walter George in Miles City in 1937, where she was a teacher at a country school. She met Walter at a country dance in the area. The family moved to Hamilton, Montana, in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley in 1945. Muriel was a great wife and mother, working alongside her husband on the farm and in the home. She was a homeroom mom and a 4-H leader and helped many young people learn and flourish through their projects. Muriel and Walter retired from farming in the late 1970's, when they moved back to Sheridan County, in Northeastern Montana, to the farm where she grew up, and where she enjoyed being with her many relatives. After Walter's death in 1983, Muriel continued to spend the winters at the old homestead and summers in Hamilton. While living at Raymond she attended the Congregational Church in Plentywood, Montana, where she was active in the Women's Fellowship. In 2005, she moved to live with her son and family in Nampa, Idaho until her death.
Muriel was a very special grandmother who truly enjoyed any time that she spent with her grandchildren. They will be forever grateful for her love and care. Muriel was wonderful to everyone she met, totally non-judgmental.
She is survived by her three daughters, Gayla (Raymond) Fowler, Stevensville, Montana and Candace and Sandra George, Hamilton; her son Bruce (Priscilla), Nampa, Idaho; her sister Katie Zeidler, and her sister-in-law Wanda (Bob) Wankel, Plentywood, Montana, numerous nieces and nephews and nine grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents, her husband Walter, her sisters Wynona Kenney, Joyce Fortner, twin brother Merrill and younger brother Bob.
Services and burial will be at the family cemetery out on the great northern prairie in Sheridan County, on a date to be decided.
